Heritage Park Historical Village is a living history museum in Calgary, AB. They operate a steam train line around the park, along with a streetcar parking lot shuttle, and a minibus service for those with disabilities.

Streetcar

Heritage Park runs two streetcars as a parking lot shuttle, both of which are replicas of Calgary Municipal Railway streetcars.

These streetcars are built from a 1918 design (known as the 'prairie' door configuration, used in Calgary and Regina), which has a door where a window was in the original design.
