On November 29, 1886, Scranton Suburban Electric Railway car No. 4 traveled five blocks, from the intersection of Franklin and Lackawanna to Adams and Spruce, in four and a half minutes. When the company began business the following day, it became one of the nation's first commercial all-electric street car services.
