Where there any trolley lines on cape cod?

I'm sure it's been answered but the search box is terrible.

Thanks

Yes, but only barely. The New Bedford & Onset Street Railway ran to Monument Beach via Kenne Street (the original bridge), Sandwich Road, County Road, and Beach Street. There were plans for an extension of the Plymouth & Brockton into Sandwich, but I don't think it was ever completed.

Thanks great stuff!

Ah, I found reference to the "Cottage Street Railway" on Martha's Vineyard (1892). Upon electrification the name was later changed to the Cottage City & Edgartown, then 5 years later changed again to Oak Bluffs Street Railway when Cottage City became Oak Bluffs. It was noted that the line ended around 1917, the era of World War 1. The line was dependent upon summer tourist traffic and had only open cars...it was noted that the line was the only one in Massachusetts that had only open cars.

This info came from a great resource, "From Boston to the Berkshires", by Stephen Carlson and Thomas Harding, published in 1990 by the Boston Street Railway Association.

The Plymouth & Sandwich Street Railway also operated briefly over the original Sagamore Bridge, with its terminus just over the bridge near the Sagamore railroad station, providing a connection to the steam railroad for Sagamore Beach residents. Some evidence of the trolley can be seen in this postcard image of the first Sagamore Bridge:

The factory building in the background was part of the Keith Car Works, builders of railroad cars during the 1800s and early 1900s. The former New Haven caboose at Pizzeria Regina in Allston is a Keith product.
