In 1875, Philadelphia had electric street car lines going through every numbered street in the city, and through every cross street in central Philly[1].

No problem. If you visit there, you can still see some of the rail lines in the streets.

They've paved over the rails in the 90's, but a few bus routes are still powered by the overhead lines. I forget the numbers, but one of them starts at the Frankford transportation center.
