Wow! Those are fantastic! My favorite is the topmost, the Busy Corner from the canal bridge.
Great!
BTW, do you happen to know location in reply no. 12?

The intersection, above in reply #19 also looks familiar. The building/store. Interestingly, the autos are vintage 1930's, I'd say late thirties. So this must be just prior to WW II. Do we know how long the trolleys ran? Until what year? I wouldn't have thought trolleys ran until that late in the century ... in Utica, so that's a surprise.
I remember as a kid riding my bike in the early and mid 1950's and often noticing rails almost submerged in the pavement ... Lincoln Ave comes to mind, possibly down where it crossed Sunset. Probably were trolley tracks.

Probably were trolley tracks. I particularly remember the Paving Stones on the incline on Lincoln Ave just North of Sunset Avenue, when I would go to MWPI in the 51 Plymouth. |

A few years back new sewer lines installed on Lincoln Avenue. When they dug up the street the Trolley Railroad Ties were still intact, however quite rotten.
I have a walkway from the house to the garage made from the Paving Bricks from the Trolley that had gone past the front of my house.

Looks familiar. I think I recognize some of those old Elm trees.
