The volunteers are still in the process of cataloging the museum's collection of photographs and other artifacts. However, what has been cataloged so far is summarized here:
If you know anything about these pictures or their location, please let me know so I can update the museum records. Thanks!
This would seem to be a fan charter, but the photo is unlabeled.
Possibly Philadelphia?
Note the nicely bricked street and the palm trees. I can discern no markings on the trolley. One person has suggested Tampa. Do you agree? 2/23/03 Earl W. Clark Jr. suggests the car is in St. Petersburg FL.
This might be a former Philadelphia Suburban horsecar now in Grand Rapids Mich. Can anyone confirm this?
If you click on this you'll see the full picture, but here I've zoomed in on a curious automobile. The picture is dated 1934. What is this car? Duesenberg? Rolls? Auburn?
These were mysteries, but thanks to our diligent readers, they have been identified:
A Montreal Transportation Commission car
This is the "Chicago Fire" set in Freedomland USA (a short-lived amusement park in the Bronx, NY)
From John Swindler: A nice aerial view of Harrisburg PA, the trolley intersection is at Market and North 2nd Streets.
From Frank Hicks:
The photo was taken on the Philadelphia and Western.
Car #446 was built as P&W #46 by St. Louis Car Company in 1907, and in
1929 it was rebuilt with a baggage door for work service and renumbered #446.
It was in use until 1955 and in 1976 was acquired by
the Buckingham Valley Trolley Association, which repainted it in its
original livery, removed the baggage door and renumbered it #46.
It is now preserved at the Electric City Trolley Museum in Scranton.
The car behind #446 in the photo is one
of the 160-series "Strafford" cars that the P&W had.
From James F. Boylan:
Location is 72nd St. Shops., Victory Ave, bus garage is across the tracks
in the background.
A Standard Steel built car running on the Moodna Viaduct, Erie Railroad, about 1930.
