Re: PAW: The Roncesvalles Car

[Paul Stenquist]

It is cool. Nice shot Frank. I like the way you can see through to the 
interior. I remember riding street cars like this in Chicago in the 
1950s. I would make one small adjustment if it were my photo. I'd 
rotate it about half a degree clockwise and crop or fill as necessary.

I've dug into the archives, as it were.
I may have shown this to the list about 18 months ago,
but if I did, it was a rough scan from a contact
sheet.
In Toronto, we have "street cars".  I don't know if
they're called street cars elsewhere, but I know that
other places call them trams or trolleys.  Luckily,
when many cities (in North America, at least) were
ripping up their tracks in the 50's and 60's to
replace them with buses and subways, we kept ours, so
we now have a beautifully integrated transit system of
buses, subways and street cars.
This is a 50's vintage car that I saw in one of the
yards on the east side.  I thought it looked pretty
cool:
