The Boston, Milton and Brockton Street Railway Company was incorporated in 1898 with a capital of $80,000, aiming to provide streetcar transportation in Milton, Massachusetts. The company connected with the Boston Elevated tracks and the Norfolk Suburban line, operating along Brook Road, White Street, Reedsdale Road, and Randolph Avenue. The line opened for service on July 11, 1899, and continued operations until the mid-1920s when the Milton Lower Mills-East Milton line was replaced by buses due to the construction of a rapid transit line. In 1900, the Boston, Milton and Brockton Street Railway Company became part of the Massachusetts Electric Company, which consolidated various street railways and power companies in the region. The company operated a variety of streetcar cars, including open and closed cars, trolley freight cars, and even a daily trip from Boston to Providence. The Mattapan to Brockton line ceased operations in 1930 due to road widening and rebuilding, marking the end of the company's streetcar service in Milton.Generated from the website
