History in the making Horse cars were the first form of public transit within cities.

The earliest horse car line was built in 1828 in Baltimore, Maryland.

Horses are slow and expensive as a form of power.

In larger cities horsecars were replaced by cable cars, or elevated steam trains.

Horsecar lines were prominent in cities until Frank J. Sprague’s invention of the overhead wire and motor mount in 1887.

The Sarah Street line in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was the last regularly operated transit line operated with horse cars in the United States, running until October 27,1923.

How Streetcars Work

Page 5: Trolleyhistory Revised

Early StreetcarsMany people know streetcars as “Trolleys” popularized by the

childrens’ TV show Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood; although the proper name is a “Streetcar” or “Electric streetcar”

Early trolleys were not much different from their predecessors. They were small, with only 1 truck (wheel and axle set) and as such could not carry a

large passenger load.

Demise of the Trolley EraAs automobiles became

more popular and more

available to the average

American, trolley

companies began a

downward spiral.

Trolleys were stacked and

burned to strip the metal bare.

What Once

Was

In the teens and twenties it was possible to ride trolleys from Pennsylvania to

Illinois (with a lot of transfers in-between).
