Interurban Trams of San Francisco

The high speed electric interurban railway was a uniquely American, and short-lived phenomenon.  Sprawling networks of lines connected towns and cities across vast distances, on a scale unimaginable in Europe.  The three states with the highest mileage of lines were Ohio, Indiana and California.

Join Ian in the Holden Room at the Acton Depot on Thursday 28th November at 14:00.
