Louisville Railway

Louisville Railway Company was a streetcar and interurban operator in Louisville, Kentucky.

Began as Louisville City Railway in 1859 as a horsecar operator and slowly acquired other rivals and renamed the company in 1980. Streetcar operation were terminated as bus operators like People's Transit Company began to compete for service in the city.

It later operated trolley buses and these operations ceased in 1951.

Mergers later lead to the creation of the Louisville Transit Company, which acquired LRC in 1951.

The last streetcar operated in 1948 and some were sold to the Toronto Transit Commission.
