Sconset Nantucket The Bug Rapid Transit Train Railroad Station Real Photo Postcard

The Sconset Rapid Transit refers to the Nantucket Central Railroad, a narrow-gauge railway that operated on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, primarily connecting Nantucket town with the resort village of Siasconset (Sconset). Established in 1881, this line was crucial for transporting summer visitors and local residents across the island during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The small railcar depicted likely represents one of the motor-powered trolleys or early railbuses introduced in the later years of the line's operation, moving away from steam locomotives.
