The line uses a single reconditioned trolley which carried tourists along Whitehorse's waterfront along the Yukon River. It runs from the Rotary Peace Park, located on the south end of the city centre, up to the Roundhouse.
The trolley was first put into operation in 2000. The electricity to power its 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 sevice in for 2023.
