Two streetcar services operated in Peterborough Ontario in the late 19th century and early 20th century.[1][2] The Peterborough and Ashburnham Street Railway Company operated from 1893 to 1898, and the Peterborough Radial Railway Company operated from 1902 until 1916. The Peterborough Radial Railway Company was given a 30-year franchise, but the city took back the system in 1916. Rolling stockA streetcar manufacturer already existed in Peterborough, Edison Electric, renamed Canadian General Electric in 1892.[1][2] This firm built the streetcars for the Peterborough and Ashburnham Street Railway. RoutesThe company's first route ran north-south, from Auburn Mills to Lock Street, passing through the exhibition grounds for the Midland Central Fair.[2] A second route ran along Charlotte Street.
