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.

Montreal & Southern Counties Railway Trolley #9

| ID # 2,032 |
East Haven. Connecticut
Convertible trolley No. 1706 was built in 1913 for the Toronto Railway Co. in Canada. In summer one side's panels were removed, and the longitudinal seats inside were replaced by cross benches, transforming 1706 into a semi-open streetcar. Here, with years of restoration work almost completed, it poses
for its portrait (restorer John R. Stevens is at the controls).
SCHEDULE OF TROLLEY OPERATION FOR VISITORS
April. May, Oct., Nov. - Sunday afternoons; June and Sept. - Sat. & Sun, afternoons; July and August - every day.
