The Bakersfield and Kern Electric Railway was a streetcar company which operated between Bakersfield and Sumner (later Kern City) in California. Later after Kern City was annexed by Bakersfield the streetcar company operated completely in Bakersfield. The company was originally formed in 1887 under the name Bakersfield and Sumner Railroad. At its height in 1915 the company operated five streetcar lines totaling 10.5 miles (16.9 km).
