Alabama once had the first electric streetcar system in the world — before New York or London.
In 1886, Montgomery, Alabama, became the first city in the world to successfully operate an electric streetcar system, known as the Capital City Street Railway or the “Lightning Route.”
It was so advanced for its time that engineers from around the world came to study it — making Alabama an early innovator in electric public transportation.
