Description
Photograph of a external view of a Plaza University trolley car of the Los Angeles Railway Company, showing two conductors posed in front, ca.1900-1910. Trolley car number 156, center, is stopped on its tracks in front of what appears to be a store front to the far left. Two men with mustaches, wearing dark suits, bow ties, and conductor hats are standing in front of the front opening to the car. Signs on the car indicate that it is a Plaza University car, and a part of the Los Angeles Railway Company. Also, there is a banner hung on the side of the car that reads "Coming Soon Gebtry's World's Greatest Dog And Pony Show". Duplicate picture file card identifies this as a "Great Western Power Company Car".
