1908 Herald Square, New York. There is a lot to look at in this photo, hundreds of people, dozens of cars and carriages, and every head has a hat

 Top hat (in front) and fancy carriages for the very wealthy

 Top to bottom interesting stuff; upper right corner is a guy trying to jump out of the way of a street car, to his left the open touring car has a uniformed and gloved driver, in the upper left side are 3 horses side by side pulling a cart(see below left side for a better view) I've never seen a 3 horse cart. The open touring cars are right hand drive. Lower right side is a one horse cart with advertising on the roof for people in high rises to read if they look down at the streets

Street car in a trolley barn 1932

The car is sitting on a transfer table. Transfer tables were used to switch cars using a much smaller space than a traditional yard with turnouts. http://www.shorpy.com

100 years ago Edinburgh Scotland, double decker street cars/trolleys/trams were evolving from horse drawn - to cable cars - to electric

I like the advertising... healthier liver with Andrews salt

the master craftsmen carpenters
the finishing painters and pinstripers
the vehicles used to get the cable installed on lines above the trolley lines
and the new electric vs the old cable car
