Brimingham Railway and Electric Company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Birmingham Railway and Electric Company was both a street car and electricity provider in Birmingham, Alabama.
Created in 1890 after the consolidation of several street railway operators, including the Birmingham Street Railway Company.
The company faced increased pressure from car after World War II and ridership declined. By the 1950s streetcar operations gave way to bus service in the city. Some cars were sold off to the Toronto Transit Commission.
In 1972, the Birmingham-Jefferson County Transit Authority took over public transit operations.
