Map See my full map of every rail line to exist in Calgary here! Trackage coloured pink/magenta indicates the E Lead
More on the E Lead The E Lead has evolved quite a lot, it potentially served the roundhouse in the Calgary Industrial Yards. It also connected to the BZ Lead, and in its later years, most of the E Lead was in-street trackage, or embedded in pavement/concrete.
The alley in which the E Lead ran has an abnormal concrete paving in the current day (in most places), which I believe was installed when the rails were pulled up.
The E Lead traveled directly beside the building where Calgary's first Village Ice Cream is today.
