The Kitchener and Waterloo Street Railway was a street railway in Berlin (renamed Kitchener) and Waterloo in Waterloo County, Ontario, Canada. Horsecar service began in 1888 under the original Berlin and Waterloo Street Railway name and continued until the system was electrified in 1895, when the existing horsecars were converted for electric service. This proved ineffective, and the company suffered from under-investment. In 1896, a local consortium bought out the company and purchased a new fleet of purpose-built electric trams. The system was municipalized in 1907 and was run by the Town (later City) of Berlin/Kitchener until the end of service. The railway was renamed in 1919 to reflect the name change of the City of Kitchener, which had occurred in 1916. In 1927, it was reorganized un

The railway was renamed in 1919 to reflect the name change of the City of Kitchener, which had occurred in 1916. In 1927, it was reorganized under the Kitchener Public Utilities Commission, which continued operations until 1946, when streetcar service was discontinued and replaced with trolleybus service. (en) Kitchener och Waterloos spårväg var en spårväg mellan städerna Berlin (senare Kitchener) och Waterloo i provinsen Ontario i Kanada. Trafiken började med två hästspårvagnar år 1888 under namnet Berlin and Waterloo Street Railway. Spårvagnarna byggdes om till eldrift år 1895, men det fungerade inte särskilt bra. Bolaget saknade medel, så ett lokalt konsortium övertog verksamheten och köpte 8 nya spårvagnar med släpvagnar. Spårvägen övertogs av staden Berlin år 1907 och drevs som ett kommunalt bolag ända till slutet. År 1919 bytte bolaget namn till Kitchener and Waterloo Street Railway efter att staden hade bytt namn till Kitchener år 1916. Hästspårvagnarna gick från Cedar Street i Waterloo till Scott Street i Kitchener och år 1900 förlängdes spårvagnslinjen till King Street i Kitchener. Spårvagnstrafiken upphörde år 1946 och ersattes med trådbussar. (sv)
