Tch! Poor thing. 2600 series wartime PCC; you can tell because it's missing the aluminium fluting at each end (wartime restrictions).

Must be Portland, Denver or LA. I am guessing LA. Can anyone identify the exact location?
Says "Los Angeles City Lines" at upper left, and the tracks are narrow gauge, so...

Interesting. The Hillside usually sported Brill 39-E maximum traction trucks. Wonder when they put on the 27-G trucks?

Once in a while, the San Francisco Cable Cars lose the cable on an incline and need a push up the hill. I've heard that sometimes the cable is greased up too much causing the clamp to slip. I wonder if that is why the cable car didn't re-attach to the cable on the flat section, and instead had to be pushed up the second hill.

Trolley and Motorman on C&E Line in Erie Pa - looks like it's actually the negative, too.
Here are a bunch of toy trolley cars I wish were mine. I do not know which companies made most of these trolley cars, but there are some by Lionel, Voltamp, Kingsbury Pressed Steel, Marklin, Ives, Chein, Howard, Knapp and Hubley.

That fellow in the front looks like he's about to get his hands dirty. Or, maybe he already has and he is hiding them after getting things in tip top running shape again.

This is not a negative print. However, this print was done backwards which means that the negative was inserted in the enlarger incorrectly. The car number should read 2018. I wonder if this was a local street car or one that went west towards Girard, PA and Conneaut, OH.

How coincidental that this photo should reappear in 2018!

Well, they look like air horns to me...

Yes, they're air horns. But they're on the LVT Liberty Bell Limited car.

I saved it for years & years,
Here is a photo of a traction cart on college hill in Easton. The tram served Easton Pennsylvania and Phillipsburg NJ before the depression when it closed. Apartently one of the original tram karts was found and is now being restored in Phillipsburg by the Railroads historians (mind you NOT the NYS&W T&HS) and are getting underway with it.

Kawasakis and Suzukis. My 1985 GS550E with a Ca. 1980-81 K-whacker LRV on Island Avenue just up from the loop. Taken around 1987. Good times. (Yep, I posted the same picture on ADVRIDER if anyone just happens to be on this forum and on there also).
Got a few more from that day but all of the slides and prints are all buried. Sorry for the crappy quality, it's a cell phone picture of one of the prints

After many years of faithful service, CLRV 4000 was loaded on to a truck at Leslie Barns for travel to the scrapper in Hamilton

Looks like it put up a bit of a fight, at least. (sad sigh)
