Institutionele geschiedenis
The Moose Jaw Electric Railway was conceived in 1909 by James T. Cashman an E. M. Saunders. Cashman was introduced to J. B. McRae who in-turn introduced him to A. Hector Dion who would become the first superintendent of the Moose Jaw Electric Railway.
In March of 1910 a 20 year franchise was granted to: J. B. McRae, consulting engineer; Peter B. Melon, physician; E. J. Daly, barrister; A. H. Dion, electrical engineer; and C. E. McCuaig, broker of the City of Moose Jaw.
On August 19, 1911 the first run of a Moose Jaw streetcar was taken for a five-cent fare. The company developed Kingsway Park to help increase Sunday revenue.
In 1932 the use of street cars came to an end as George T. Connor, the last general manager of the electric railway began the operation of motor buses in the city under a new franchise named the Moose Jaw Transportation Company.
