Bay Shore Terminal Street Railway, 1907 (For more Norfolk geography tidbits, click here.) As of 1907, according to its entry in the American Street Railway Investments, 1907 edition (p.412), the Bay Shore [Terminal] company had 13 motor cars operating along 15 miles of electric track.  By that time, the line was a double-track; so its actual length from the city to the bay was about 7½ miles. (Although the air-line distance would have been less than that, the additional mileage was probably also created by its meandering through various streets within sub-divisions along the way.) See Figure ZZZ, showing the double-track line running along Indian Poll Road near Forest Lawn Cemetery. (A plat of the Bay Shore Terminal Company is contained in Norfolk County Deed Book 246, p.550.)
