The Whitehorse Waterfront Trolley is a heritage streetcar service in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada.[5][6]
The line first ran on July 15 2000 running from the Roundhouse to Rotary Peace Park (1.14km) . On June 30 2005 it was extended from the Roundhouse to Spook Creek (an additional 1.27km). The 2005 section was last used on October 2 2016 and the original track on September 1 2018 before the 2024 reopening
The line uses a single reconditioned trolley which carries tourists along Whitehorse's waterfront along the Yukon River. The electricity to power the Trolley's electric motors comes not from overhead trolley wires, but instead from a diesel generator. The car ran each year from July to September, until 2018. It restarted service in 2024.
