Running Time: Approx. 50 minutes. Based on Order Total Description: There once was a time in America when if you went anywhere, you took the trolley... a time when electric railways were America's fifth largest industry and employed ten percent of the work force. Now, you can relive the glory days of America's fabulous Trolley Era through rare historic film of long-abandoned street railways, scrapped trolleys and early streetcar operations. Listen to the stories of motormen and conductors who operated America's street cars. Be an eyewitness to disastrous trolley wrecks. Witness the restoration and preservation of many historic cars and tour the historic collections of The Seashore Trolley Museum, The Illinois Railway Museum and The Orange Empire Railway Museum. There is even a look at the rare "Descanso" funeral car. Lots of bell-clanging, wheel-screeching, air-hissing, "clickity-clack" action on this exciting tape.
