Two Street Cars

From Gog Woodham's Wrentham Collection. Two street cars, one on the line through Foxboro and one on the Attleboro to Woonsocket line stopped side by side allowing passengers to board and/or transfer. Street cars came to Wrentham in 1902 and continued until replaced by motor buses in 1924.
The Milford, Attleboro, & Woonsocket line had a spur from the bottom of Eagle Hill into the parking lot of Lake Pearl Park. One can still see the remains of the roadbed at the bottom of the hill.
.

The Milford, Attleboro & Woonsocket Street Railway Company ran a spur branch from their line at the bottom of Eagle Hill (Franklin Strret near Red Dam) directly into the Lake Pearl Park grounds as shown here as a near empty car arrives to transport customers from a day of relaxation and recreation.
