The 1952  Electric__Railroads  publication on PRCo Interurbans states 
the following on pg.11:::


"""Tied in with the electrification of the Castle Shannon line was the 
construction of a double track line connecting it with the 
39-Brookline.......       Real estate interests in Brookline not only 
arranged for this line's construction but contributed heavily toward 
electrification of the main line.       Loop service via Brookline was 
operated for some years but was later dropped because it interfered with 
interurban operations."""

Sorry  --  doesn't list any dates.
