One of the fleet of PCC cars purchased from the Twin Cities and Detroit, turns South toward the private right of way leading to the Floating Gardens of Xochimillo. The new City Hall can be seen in the background.

Joseph A. Smith (1895-1978) was an avid collector of railroad photos, sharing many of them with fellow collectors in the Northeast. A former plumbing contractor, he presumably developed his interest in railroads through his father James H. Smith, a trolley motorman in Troy, NY. His extensive collection focused on the lines that once served Troy: Delaware & Hudson, Rutland, Boston & Maine and New York Central.
