Boston, Massachusetts, Mail Streetcar

from Smithsonian Institution

  • Brenda Anderson said:
    Looking more closely at the sign (and knowing the geography of the Boston area), the description would be more accurate if it said "traveled to Malden via Broadway and Ferry Streets". This map of the Elevated system (found on Wikipedia) might be of interesting as it shows the line heading north from Charlestown up through Everett (on Broadway) and then on to Ferry St to Malden. -- Seen in a discussion of the group "Flickr Commons" (?)

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Die Erinnerungen, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • PMCC Post Office Photos said:
    This is classic. But yes, it's TO the northern suburb of Malden by way of Broadway and Ferry Streets.
  • Lewis Remington said:
    It's interesting to see how much the mail system has changed, but also how much it has stayed the same. Mail isn't typically sent via a train like this, but it still is transported across the states by large vehicles or planes. It just depends on if you are sending bulk mail or not; different services treat it differently. www.omsmail.com

Rogers/Rodgers fire, 5/15/15 (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Fabulous Instrument said:
    It's difficult to avoid thinking of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911 when viewing this photograph. Hopefully, the "Rogers/Rogers fire" of 1915 was nowhere near as deadly.
  • Art Siegel said:
    This was a series of explosions and fire at a five story building at 206 E. 19th Street, near 3rd Avenue. J.E. Rodgers Company had the first two floors, and the remaining floors stored highly explosive materials. Two people were badly injured. Note support pillars of 3rd Avenue El at right. select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F70F17F9395B1773...

Elwyn H. Gibbon Special Collection Photo El Paso Texas

    Peashooter was later the nickname of the Boeing P-26 but at the time could stand for any pursuit plane. These are Curtiss Hawks, probably P-1s.
