Electric Touring Bus - 1910

"This rare photo of a New York electric touring bus was taken by an unknown photographer around 1910, or possibly earlier. The electric drive motor can clearly be seen at the rear with the battery compartment in the middle of the undercarriage. Note the solid rubber tires. The bus appears to hold 26 passengers, a driver and a conductor. Because of the relatively long exposure time by todays standards, a few of the faces are blurred from movement." -- heritagephotographs.com/eltourbus19.html   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
