Reply to "Random Photos of Trolley Cars"

I have a fascination for the trolley lines that operated in Saratoga, New York. A few weeks ago I visited the old trolley depot which still stands in excellent condition, in use as the visitors center. Around the back of the building, the original canopies that the trolley cars entered still stand. After searching for a long time, I finally found a picture of the depot with trolley cars.

The trolley cars in the pictures belong to the Hudson Valley Railway and the Schenectady Railway Co.

It appears the photos of the depot were taken from Franklin, between Congress Street and West Circular Drive. Cars from this depot went north to Wilton, Glen Falls and Lake George, southwest to Ballston Spa and Schenectady, south to the Albany Capital District and Troy. There were branch lines to the race track and Kandeross Park.

Perhaps a local railroader can shed some info about this trolley depot. Below are some of the cars that ran into the Saratoga Depot.
