By the turn of the century all horsecar lines but one had been converted to electric. The exception was the Fryeburg Horse Railroad, which until 1913 remained horse-drawn.

For nearly 25 years it served a three-mile route, and although permission to electrify the line was granted, the railroad's income was too small for such an undertaking.
