and all nine streetcars on this stub line were scrapped. In that same month, streetcar service on Whyte Avenue was replaced by bus service, and the new south terminus for streetcars was at 84 Avenue and 109 Street. After these closures, only the Blue Route and the Blue & White Route remained in service, totaling in length. In its final configuration, the service went between a loop at 109 Street and 84 Avenue, and another loop at 66 Street and 124 Avenue, via the High Level Bridge. On September 1, 1951, Edmonton streetcar No. 1 – the first streetcar ordered by Edmonton – performed a ceremonial 'last run' across the High Level Bridge at around 8:00 PM. It carried Mayor Sidney Parsons and other invited guests from Jasper Avenue and 97 Street, to the loop at 84 Avenue and 109 Street. From there, they took a bus to the opening ceremony for the new Strathcona bus garage, which was built at a cost of $500,000. Around 1,000 people watched the streetcar trip, which marked the closure of the Edmonton's streetcar system. Early the next morning, the dignitaries rode streetcar No. 52 back to the ETS Cromedale shops, bringing to a close 43 years of streetcar service in Edmonton. The transit agency continues to operate bus and light rail lines as Edmonton Transit Service.

As streetcar No. 21 approached the bridge spanning a ravine at 132 Street, which only had one streetcar track, Motorman McLennan slightly applied the brakes. Snow and ice were compacted into piles by the skidding wheels, causing the streetcar to leave the track and lurch over the right-hand side of the bridge. The streetcar fell down the ravine, and landed on its roof. McLennan and his five passengers all survived, but received various injuries — ranging from scratches and bruises, to fractured ribs and a broken sternum. Four factors played a large role in their survival: The streetcar fell just over half the total depth of the ravine, the trucks—which were among the streetcar's heaviest components—detached before it landed, its sides caved outward instead of inward, and the frame stopped the roof from caving in. Emergency services arrived within 15 minutes, by-which time everyone was out of the streetcar. After four passengers and the Motorman were admitted into the
