DescriptionThree men in uniform, presumably the driver and conductors, pose in front of an electric trolley car on a city street. Passengers, mostly men wearing hats and overcoats, stand on the rear platform and are seated in the car. A few women in the car may be identified by their elaborate hats. Signs on the trolley read: "T[orri]ngton and Winchester S[t. Ry.] Co." "King's Daughters / Circle of Mercy / Concert / Tuesday Evening April 19."
