Notes
  • Significance: The first electric street railway system was installed in Richmond, Virginia in 1887. Based on its success, the City of Lafayette, Indiana, authorized the Lafayette Street Railway Co. to convert its horsecar operation to the electric traction system. The first trail run occurred August 30, 1888. Thus did Lafayette complete one of the first electric street railways in the U.S.
