An archive of 29 black and white gelatin silver photographs measuring between 3.5" x 3.5" and 8" x 10" with some captions. Near fine. This collection depicts the main mode of public transportation in New Haven, Connecticut in the 1940s, the trolley system.

According to historians, Diana Li, Jordan Ascher, Jenny Dai, "Between the 1890s and the 1940s, streetcars ruled in New Haven and Connecticut.The major player in the growth of the New Haven streetcar system was the Connecticut Company, which was a subsidiary of a larger organization: the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad Company." These images show various stations and intersections on the New Haven route. An interesting collection of photographs taken during the heyday of the streetcar system in Connecticut.
