Ther streetcar system served all of downtown and central adjacent areas. Most of the city would have been within easy walking distance to the line, and was better served than it is today.

The 1898 Railway Contract provided for Reid (the railway company) to build a street car system for downtown St. John's. The St. John's Electric Street Railway was integrated with the first hydro-electric development in Newfoundland, a plant at Petty Harbour. The system was operated by the Reids from 1900 to 1924, and by the St. John's Light and Power Company -a Reid subsidiary- from 1924 to 1948.
