Toronto and Scarboro' Electric Railway, Light and Power Company was established in August 1892 to provide street railway service beyond the then City of Toronto, Ontario to the Township of Scarborough.
By 1895 the TSERLPC was acquired by Toronto Railway Company. In 1904, the TSERLPC became the Scarboro Division of the Toronto and York Radial Railway, a TRC subsidiary. The service was acquired by Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario as Hydro Electric Railways: Toronto and York Division from 1922 to 1927. After 1927, the service was acquired by the Toronto Transportation Commission and city service was extended to Birchmount Loop. Beyond Birchmount, service ceased operations by 1936 (replaced by 12 Kingston Road and 69 Warden South from 1968 onwards).
The line always used Toronto gauge.[1]
