The Bay State Street Railway Company was a horse-drawn and electric streetcar railroad operated on the streets of Boston, Massachusetts and communities directly north (stretching into New Hampshire) and south (extending into Rhode Island) of the city. Its immediate successor was the Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway, and its modern successor is the state-run Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA).[1]

On December 12, 1917, the Bay State went into receivership.[2] The Bay State was acquired by Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway Company on January 15, 1919.[3]
