This second volume on Boston's Streetcars covers the open horse and electric cars owned by the West End Street Railway and the Boston Elevated Railway from 1887 through 1922. As in the previous volume, the information presented was drawn almost entirely from official sources and is as complete and accurate as available records permit. Unfortunately, many of these records lack adequate details and efforts to obtain additional authoritative data have been unsuccessful.
The earliest open horsecar roster located was that for April 1893 while the earliest roster of open electrics is that contained in the West End inventory of 30 September 1897. However,all open horse and electric cars purchased or built in the fiscal years 1889 through 1901 can be identified by order, type, number and builder and sales of open horse and electric cars to other transit properties, second-hand dealers and street railway promoters are listed from April 1891 through September 1918.
