New London and East Lyme Street Railway

The New London and East Lyme Street Railway was a streetcar line that operated in southeastern Connecticut.

Its main line ran from New London to Niantic with a later extension to Crescent Beach and a branch to Old Saybrook.

[3]: 77 Service was cut back to Flanders Corner on September 7, 1920, as residents of Niantic and Crescent Beach declined to subsidize the line.

Motor buses took over most service on May 23, 1923, with streetcars making only a handful of peak hour trips.
