Tram in front of Montreal Street Railway Company & Bank of Montreal | Montreal In The Time Of Tramways

Historic views of Montreal’s trams in the early 20th century (8/12)

I learned from Tom Grumley’s A Retrospective History of Montreal Streetcars that the M.S.R. was first established in 1861, though at that time the streetcars were horse-drawn rather than electrified. Electrification of the system began in 1892 and Montreal’s tramway system kept expanding well into the 1930s.
