Pullman-Sessions Double Decker Streetcar, Boston, Massachusetts, circa 1892
01
Artifact Overview
A number of U.S. railway companies experimented with double-deck streetcars. The West End Street Railway Company in Boston, Massachusetts, tried this one during the winter of 1891-92. The car could seat about 40 passengers on each deck and more could find standing room. While double-deck streetcars carried more passengers, they never became a popular option in the United States.
