Scranton’s first horsecar operation was chartered in 1865, and the nation’s first successful electric streetcar operation began on November 29, 1886. By 1900, Scranton Railway Company served Pennsylvania’s 3rd largest city with almost 100 miles of track. This program from PTM volunteer George Gula covers the development of the system from the earliest horsecar days to the end of service on December 18, 1954.
