      Was it the North Jersey Rapid Transit?
      For this year's Quasquicentennial Celebration, The Rock Recorder Blog will post a chronological (as much as possible) history of Glen Rock, NJ. My main source for framing this series is an unpublished manuscript in the Glen Rock Historical & Preservation Society's archive, which was written by George Hubschmitt. This is Part #10 of the series. In May 1908 the tax budget for municipal purposes was set at $4,300.00 With the increase in home building at that time, water and gas mains were being

        Sadly no, it was a rural line linking two small towns.

          Could it be the Garrett, Meyersdale and Salisbury? Also know as the Pennsylvania & Maryland Street Railway? It paralleled the Casselman River. It also paralleled the WM and B&O mainlines between Meyersdale and Garrett.

            Springfield Terminal? Check out str_v2.zip

            MSTS Route--Springfield Terminal v2. This is mostly a scenic update for the original Springfield Terminal route, but it is a complete route and will not interfere with the original route if you want to keep it as well. The six mile long STRy was the last electric shortline in New England. The line connected Springfield Vermont with the Boston and Maine at Charlestown, New Hampshire. The route is set in the early 1950s and includes passenger only trackage that was taken out of service in 1947. Route requires New Roads v4.0, xtracks v3.20, and MSTSBin 1.7.

                There was the Bay State Street Railway Co. which operated an interurban in Lowell, Mass. until bankruptcy in 1918.
