Beebe Syndicate

The Beebe Syndicate was the name given to a group of electric streetcar and interurban railroads as well as construction and finance companies that shared common management based in Syracuse, New York.

Founder Clifford D. Beebe (1866–1937) had returned to New York State after building up his career in the banking industry in Michigan.

After several years of involvement with various local streetcar lines, Beebe turned his attention to the development of electric interurban railways.

Large parts of the Syndicate were sold into foreclosure in 1917, with the remaining lines reorganized independently.

Beebe left the Syracuse area in 1919 and moved to New York City to pursue a career in real estate.
