#The
Cambridge Horse Railroad was the first
street railway in Boston, opened in
1856. In
1897 the
Tremont Street Subway was built downtown to take streetcars off the street; this subway is still used by today's
Green Line. The first section of surface trackage still in use was in place by
1872 on
Huntington Avenue, and is now used by the
Green Line "E" Branch. Currently the
Ashmont-Mattapan High Speed Line also runs as a
streetcar line.#The
Newark City Subway opened in
1935, but streetcar lines opened way before then. The only section still in use is the Subway.# The Rochester Subway used
streetcar-style vehicles, but had underground sections, much like
Boston's
Green Line and the
Newark City Subway. The Rochester Subway was also used for freight until
1957.
