Random Photos of Trolley Cars

North Edgefield & Nashville Horse Drawn Trolley

Bill,

I was not sure my comment about Car No. 1000 was correct. Your explanation is well done. Thanks for sharing it.

One more shot of the Yakima Valley Railroad. Glad I got to ride on the loco and meet the guys that ran it. They stopped anywhere I wanted to take more pictures. Don

New bridge, state of the art light rail vehicle...

Truly, this is a century of wonders!

From 1901 - 1923, the Concord, Maynard & Hudson Street Railway connected the towns of Concord, Acton, Maynard, Stow, and Hudson Massachusetts with about 20 miles of track. The Laconia Car Company made trolley cars were painted yellow & white with gold trim. In the photo, No. 208 is in Hudson.

Not Pennsylvania this time but 100 years ago in Detroit.  The Peter Witt cars in the first photo on the Woodward Avenue route were replaced with PCC's in 1947 and the PCC cars were replaced by busses in 1955.  The PCC's were sold to Mexico City or scrapped.  It's surprising streetcars lasted this long in Detroit given the influence of the auto industry.

I'm guessing that was on Broadway, although I must confess that the building on the left doesn't look familiar.  I'm wondering if that's a church that the car's rearend is banked up against? I got no hits on a quick search.

The trolley station remains and is featured in this website:

Thanks for posting.  I can’t tell you how many miles I rode on those red and cream Pittsburgh PCC’s over the years on my way to school, work, visiting relatives, going downtown, to Kennywood or to Forbes Field to see the Buccos.  However what’s that 77/54 doing in downtown Pittsburgh in the 3rd photo?  It’s normal route did not go through downtown so it must have been on a charter run in that photo.  I used to take the 77/54 from Carrick to Forbes Field.

Good one.  That looks like some sort of combine and those alternating green and white shades would be a nice touch to model.

This photo is just one example of why, from a very young age, I have always loved Traction. Such a unique style of equipment, in looks and purpose.

Agreed!  This is a great photo.  It inspired me to do a quick web search before work.  There's a lot to read and see for this transit company.

How many of you knew that San Francisco is always building new Cable Cars. One or two are always under construction or being rebuilt. MWB I think you could get a job there. Don

I would enjoy that, but I would also have to relocate to the SF area and I can't afford to do that.......
