Theodore Roosevelt's Timeline and Parallels with
Seashore Trolley Museum's Historic Railway Collection 

(Excerpts in  part from Trolley Car Treasury, (1956) by Frank Rowsome)
      In the year of TR's birth, 1858, Philadelphia opened its first horsecar line.
Horse Railroads/Horse-drawn passenger cars (horsecars) on rails. First came onto the public transportation scene in the late 1820s. They evolved from the earlier horse-drawn omnibus, which was basically a city version of the stagecoach. Manhattan had its first horsecar line in 1832. By the early 1850s, horsecar lines had been spreading throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn.

     Many forms of "horseless" cars were tried over many years, but the system that ultimately won out was the electrically-fed trolley car designed by Frank Julian Sprague and first put into large-scale operation in Richmond, VA, beginning in January 1888.

     Seashore Trolley Museum's extensive collection includes railway vehicles and buildings that were built and were part of the fabric of public transportation throughout TR's life.
