Streetcars & Trolleys Calendar

The Streetcars and Trolleys 2012 calendar brings back the heyday of streetcars and trolleys with color photographs taken between the 1940s and the 1960s in cities across the U.S. and Canada. Before automobiles and buses there were streetcars or trolleys in virtually every American city. Streetcars & Trolleys recalls that era through historic photographs from around the United States.

Streetcars & Trolleys Introduction

Streetcars and Trolleys served millions or riders each day in and between American and Canadian cities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Replaced by buses in the 1930s, they continue to serve in some large urban areas and are remembered fondly elsewhere. The tracks, the equipment and the history live on in the just-released Streetcars & Trolleys 2012 calendar published by Tide-mark Press.

Streetcars & Trolleys Travelling

As cities grew, streetcars and trolleys, with their inexpensive fares and frequent stops, provided urban mass transit long before buses and subways. From Boston to San Francisco, these urban workhorses allowed families to move to less-crowded areas and return to city centers for employment, entertainment and shopping.

Streetcars & Trolleys Calendar Photographs

Each picture is accompanied by a description of the action and the equipment. This beautifully designed publication is attractive and useful, with calendar grids that have large blocks for every day of the week. The monthly calendar also includes grids for the previous and forth coming months, to make planning more convenient. The Streetcars and Trolleys calendar opens to a generous 14 by 22 inches, nearly 10 percent larger than most other brands and includes major holidays and phases of the moon.
