DescriptionClose-up views of trolley cars in operation on tracks at Connecticut trolley museums. Trolley wires are overhead. In some views, the driver and conductor are visible; in some views, passengers, including women and children, are visible. Most are summer scenes, with leafy trees in the background. One view includes autumn foliage. In another view, snow is on the ground, and a railroad crossing sign is at the right; it appears to be twilight.
