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.

Kittery and York Beach, Maine. Built in 1904 at Laconia, N. H.. it is a few
years older than the Model 'T' beside it. The car was later used for overhead
wire repair. and occasionally saw service as a locomotive.

Kennebunkport. Maine
During the heyday of the trolley car era, every street railway had its fleet of work equipment. un-glamorous vehicles for the most part, used in carrying out construction and maintenance projects. No. 2016. a double-truck motor flat car. was built in 1912 by the Boston Elevated Railway. and is shown at the Seashore Trolley Museum's Arundel station. The small derrick has a capacity of one ton, and is useful for handling rails, trucks, motors and other parts falling within the weight limit.

Seashore Trolley Museum
One of the many operating exhibits that can be seen from May through October at the Seashore Trolley Museum, Kennebunkport, Maine. Car No. 62 was built by Brill in 1925 for the P&WC which became the Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Co. and now SEPTA. System was wide gauge, therefore P&WC restoration required re-gauging of wheels to standard gauge as operated by the museum.
