"The last run of the first electric railway". What historic footage! Thanks!

I like that there is hardly any auto traffic, except on College Avenue.

And what traffic there was, you were on your own at the wheel.

Gettysburg had a subway system of sorts that went out into the battlefield until the early 1900's I am not sure where I left that particular bookmark, but will find it.

I don't know about you but did that cameraman have trouble holding steady on the bridge because of the structure?
