  • Description
  • A view of the Citizen Traction Company’s Stable. According to the pamphlet, “Pennsylvania Trolley Museum,“ horse-drawn street railways began in 1859 when the Citizens Passenger Railway started to operate on Penn Avenue to 34th Street, later extending to East Liberty, a trip lasting one and a half hours and costing sixty cents. The East End lines were replaced eventually by cable cars. In the late 1880s Citizens Traction Company operated a cable car line along Penn Avenue, with a branch line on Butler Street to 40th Street in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood.
