North Cambridge Carhouse is a bus garage for trolleybuses, and a former streetcar carhouse, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which is owned and operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). It was first built in 1874. The current structure dates from 1979. It is located in the North Cambridge neighborhood and is one of two MBTA garages used in operation of the Boston-area trolleybus system.

History

The carhouse and yard date to the 1874 construction of a brick building with a clock tower that was constructed by the Union Railway. It remained in use until 1889 when the replacement of horsecars by electric streetcars made the structure obsolete. In 1897, the West End Street Railway constructed a larger structure, which existed for the next forty years until it was demolished in 1937. In 1979, the present structure was constructed to house the trolley buses which became active on the line in 1958.[1]

Today, the carhouse is also the northern terminus of route {{MBTABus|77A}}, which operates as a short turn of the {{MBTABus|77}} to supply trolleybuses for the {{MBTABus|71}}, {{MBTABus|72}}, and {{MBTABus|73}} routes.[2]
