The trolley in Maysville began, horse-drawn, on August 14, 1883. It converted to electricity in 1891, and ran through the fall of 1936. It ran from a turn-around loop east of the cemetery, along Second Street to Bridge, along Third to Market, and down Market back to Second. It followed Second to another turn-around loop, just East of Beasley Creek. There were two short passing tracks, one between Commerce and Poplar, and one between Wall and Sutton. |
Both the C&O and the L&N have on-line historical
societies.
