The following streetcar lines once operated on Long Island, New York in Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk Counties.
After the Central Railroad of Long Island opened in 1873 passengers could access the horse car to the Great South Bay at the Watson House.
Service ended on or about November 8, 1917, and on July 13, 1918, the trolley route was sold to the Great South Bay Ferry Company.
The southern portion of the route, between Front Street and Ellison’s dock, was leased to the Freeport Railroad Company in 1913.
It was eventually extended to Huntington Railroad Station, then along what is today mostly NY 110 through Melville, Farmingdale, and as far south as the docks of Amityville.

The New York and North Shore Traction Company operated from northeastern Queens east into Nassau County.
It had plans to expand into Patchogue and north through Bohemia, Lake Ronkonkoma, St. James and Stony Brook towards Port Jefferson, not to mention through Nassau and Queens County.
The Sayville, and Bayport-Blue Point Lines were originally owned by the South Shore Traction Company.
