Horsecar #10 has been part of the collection of the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport ME since 1954. It is currently on Track 1 of our Highwood Exhibit Barn. Unfortunately the museum has no horses to demonstrate how it works!
This was when New Bedford had reached its population peak, and all the textile mills were in full production. Also, Union Street Railway, had the longest stretch of profitability of any street railway in Massachusetts.
Before the ruling class decided to move all the industrial capacity to the south and then overseas to avoid paying their workers while they turned themselves into billionaires. Probably the most significant thing that happened to New Bedford
Any chance of getting an unedited digitized copy of the entire film? There are some great views of the old Fort Phoenix Pavilion and more that have been excised from this version.
Es lo más maravilloso que la nostalgia nos invade que alguna vez vivimos que estábamos en nuestra juventud y ha sido lo más maravilloso que volvemos a vernos.graciias
You mean all the industry moving away to places where they could pay the workers less and less? Yeah its unbelievable how the ruling class abandoned so many prosperous American cities
At 7:20, notice the swastika on the awning on "Browne's" soda, cigar and candy shoppe. I know some of the meanings of that symbol are, "good fortune" or "well being". My how times have changed. That would never work in America's politically "correct" environment of today...... just noticing something interesting.
That probably wouldn't have flown in the 30s and 40s. You know, when the United States was "politically correct". That's before they realized fighting against fascism was woke or whatever

Even in the 21st century, you can still find some some history under the asphalt on certain streets of New Bedford. :)

People should take note on how nice everyone was dressed. Not like todays trashbags.
Most Americans haven't gotten a raise since this video was current. But I bet you're not going to criticize that
Well New Bedford changed A LOT!
When new Bedford had it going on, if these people could see what it's become their heads would explode from disbelief

1921. The year my dad was born... in New Bedford.
1921 and they STILL had horse-drawn streetcars?
They could be used as trailers
