C-Train is the original name of the light rail network in the Canadian city of Calgary which nowadays is known as the CTrain.
This light-metro type of urban transport / transit uses light rail vehicles (LRVs) on a mostly segregated route, although in the city centre it travels in street tramway / streetcar / trolley car mode along a transit mall which is shared with buses, city and emergency vehicles.
Using S-VHS video footage which dates from May 1993 this film includes a driver's eye / forward looking view as we travel through part of the 7th Avenue South transit mall - which is a 'free fares' zone plus views from the footpath and Calgary Tower.
The film also concludes with a still image slide show (set to music) with 35mm photos from 1986 and 1993.
