New York & North Shore Traction Company Car southbound to Mineola. This is likely a Kuhlman built car. The Roslyn Clock Tower was a trolley stop and the tower still stands today.
This may be the same car northbound to Port Washington. It is about to climb a hill and cross Northern Boulevard (Rt 25A).
Have any Kuhlman cars of the early 1900s been saved?

Conestoga Traction # 51
MWB raised my curiosity about the Conestoga Traction Company. Here's a link to some more info about the Conestoga Traction Company including some color photos, and surviving Birney #236.
Schenectady Railway Car No. 561 heading into Ballston Spa, New York
The last trolley car to run in New York City on the Queensborough Bridge. Unfortunately, this car was not preserved.
VERY SAD! I remember those cars very well on trips into Manhattan in my younger years. Also my all-time favorite NYC bridge!
RE: Paramount Theater in Brooklyn - my mother once worked there as an usher in her youth with a then aspiring singer named Vic Damone.

Bobby,
The Seashore Trolley Museum has a 1914 Kuhlman. Trolley Stats Page
They may have more examples but the search is a little clunky, to say the least, and I'm in a rush. Great pictures everyone.
Tomlinson Run Railroad
The Huntington Railroad on Long Island. This company ran a trolley line from Halesite to Amityville via New York Avenue (AKA Rt 110).

Capital Transit on the Cabin John Line
Among my favorite trolley cars are the Connecticut Company's Yale Bowl cars. The numbers of passengers that jammed these cars was spectacular and unprecedented.
I have often made posts on this forum begging MTH to market a Rail King Osgood Bradley open car. I realize that a can motor and PS 3 electronics would need to protrude above the floor over and between the car's trucks. However, the protruding items can easily be hidden by loads of people just in the pictures of the Yale Bowl cars.
Look at the list of this Yale Bowl car jammed with passengers.

Maybe not. Consider the use of magic carpet drives; possible to put most electronics in the ceiling?
Is there any hope that the Queensborough Bridge Car 601, the last trolley car to run in New York City, can be restored to operating condition?
Capital Traction Steeple Cab
I'd like to have that one in my back yard. The neighbors would love it.
