Mill Creek Starr Island Park Electric Streetcar Williamsport Pennsylvania Postcard 1911

Williamsport, Pennsylvania1911Pioneer/Golden AgeGood

Colorized night scene postcard showing an electric streetcar crossing a wooden trestle bridge over Mill Creek on the road to Starr Island Park in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The car's headlamp blazes in the dark, its light reflected in the rushing water below. A full moon peeks through dramatic storm clouds above a canopy of summer trees. The scene combines the romance of moonlit water with the excitement of the new electric transit technology of the era.
