Labeled "Cherrelyn," this 1903 photograph shows a horsecar traveling a country road outside Denver, Colorado, a rural setting for a vehicle more often seen on city streets. Horsecars, streetcars pulled along rails by teams of horses, carried passengers in American cities through the late nineteenth century before electric trams replaced them, so one on an open road suggests a line linking the city to outlying communities. The picture belongs to the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection, though its title and details come from an old caption card that has not been independently verified.
