Springfield Street Railway

The Springfield Street Railway (SSR) was an interurban streetcar and bus system based in Springfield, Massachusetts that connected the Springfield metropolitan area and the Pioneer Valley, serving over 44 million annual passengers across more than 208 miles of track at the height of its operations, which included through services to the downtown hubs of the Holyoke/Northampton, Worcester Consolidated and Hartford & Springfield Street Railways which it operated jointly with those railways on shared routes, as well as a connection (by transfer) to the Berkshire Street Railway in Huntington at one point. Shortly after its acquisition by National City Lines in 1939, the Springfield Street Railway's final two tram runs returned to the Trolley Barn for the very last time in the pre-dawn darkness of June 24, 1940.
