Holyoke Street Railway
The Holyoke Street Railway was a public transportation system established in the late 19th century in Holyoke, Massachusetts. It primarily operated electric streetcars, providing residents with a reliable means of travel throughout the city and connecting to nearby areas. The railway played a significant role in the urban development of Holyoke, facilitating commerce and mobility.
In 1890, the Holyoke Street Railway began operations, and by the early 1900s, it expanded its network to include various routes. The system contributed to the growth of the local economy and helped shape the community's infrastructure. Eventually, like many streetcar systems, it faced decline with the rise of automobiles and buses.
