The Gloucester Street Railway was a former streetcar railway operating in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Originally incorporated as a horsecar railway in 1886, [1] the railway underwent an ownership change in 1891. The railway was electrified and nearly doubled in length. [2] In 1900, the railway was sold to the Lynn and Boston Railroad. [3]

Route

The Gloucester Street Railway operated a line approximately 9.4 miles in length. The northern terminus on the line was near the Rockport town line in Gloucester's Lanesville neighborhood. The line ran towards downtown Gloucester, following Washington Street for its entirety and passing through the village of Annisquam. The line then ran through downtown on Main Street and proceeded down East Main Street to its southern terminus in Rocky Neck, Gloucester. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Union Pacific West Line</span> Metra rail commuter service in the Chicago area

The Union Pacific West Line (UP-W) is a Metra commuter rail line operated by Union Pacific Railroad in Chicago, Illinois and its western suburbs. Metra does not refer to its lines by particular colors, but the timetable accents for the Union Pacific West line are "Kate Shelley Rose" pink, honoring an Iowa woman who saved a Chicago & North Western Railway train from disaster in 1881. Green and yellow were already selected for the Union Pacific North Line and Union Pacific Northwest Line, respectively, so pink was chosen for this line. Therefore, the UP-W is the only Metra line that uses a color to honor a person instead of a fallen flag railroad. Until the late 1940s the line had a branch to Freeport, Illinois. It diverged from the main line at West Chicago and had stations at Elgin, Marengo, Belvidere, Rockford, Freeport, and other communities. The line was once known as the Chicago & Northwestern/West Line until UP took over the C&NW in 1995. All Metra trains on this line terminated at Geneva until 2006, when the line was extended to its present terminus in Elburn. The line runs as part of the Union Pacific Railroad's Geneva Subdivision.
