The Nelson Electric Tramway is a heritage railway in Nelson, British Columbia, Canada. It uses two restored vintage streetcars which carry tourists along Nelson's waterfront and was the first operating heritage streetcar line in British Columbia. The service is seasonal, starting on the Easter weekend and ending on the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend each year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Nelson Electric Tramway Society )〕 It is operated by the non-profit Nelson Electric Tramway Society (NETS). The line was opened on June 15, 1992, by the city's mayor; a second opening ceremony was held on July 1, 1992.〔''Light Rail and Modern Tramway'', October 1992, p. 271. Ian Allan Publishing/Light Rail Transit Association.〕 Nelson's original streetcar system operated from 1899 to 1949. It was run by the privately owned Nelson Electric Tramway Ltd. from 1899 until 1908 and then, following a suspension of service when a fire destroyed a substation, was restored to operation in 1910 by a newly formed Nelson Street Railway Company and, in turn, became municipally owned in 1914. The heritage streetcar line adopted the name of the town's first streetcar company. ==Car 23== Car 23 was built in 1906 by the John Stephenson Company (then owned by the J. G. Brill Company). Originally purchased by Cleveland, Ohio's Forest City Railway (in whose fleet it was No. 3334),〔Young, Andrew D. (1997). ''Veteran & Vintage Transit'', p. 3. St. Louis: Archway Publishing. ISBN 0-9647279-2-7.〕 the car was purchased in 1923 by the City of Nelson and used as a spare, or back-up tram. In 1930 the car was renumbered from "3" to "23",〔(History of Streetcar No. 23 )〕 and it remained in service until the closure of the system, in 1949. In 1951 the car's body was sold and turned into a dog kennel and eventually a chicken coop. NETS purchased car 23 in 1982 and together with the Chamber of Commerce and Selkirk College restored the car body cosmetically. Later, replica trucks were fabricated, so that the car could be returned to operating condition.〔
