    LOC -- The Bain News Agency mistakenly dated the photo as December, 1914. It actually is part of the Bain photostream from December, 1913.
  • Wystan said:
    The elevated railway under construction in the photo put me in mind of another Bain/LOC image of street railway construction, that was posted on May 21, 2010:

    These are interesting to research and do, but they pretty much get no reaction here on Flicker:

  • Wystan said:
    JE Piper -- I think your matchups are nothing less than amazing. It must take hours to get each one just right.
  • JE Piper said:
    Thank you, Wystan, from such a fine researcher as yourself. Actually, when I see these photos I often recognize the buildings right away -- but I'm also working on some of the more challenging ones that have me stumped!

Boston, Massachusetts, Mail Streetcar

    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.

    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
