Galveston Electric Co
Birney #333
Galveston streetcars were run by the Galveston Electric Co, also in the power business. Service ended May 25, 1938. This was a Stone & Webster property. Along with Houston Electric and the Galveston-Houston Elec. Ry. interurban, it was controlled by a S&W holding company--Galveston-Houston Electric Co. At the end I think the fleet was virtually all-Birney, including some from Houston and some from S&W-controlled Ft. Worth.
