Hot Dog Vendor at Grand and Havemeyer Streets, Brooklyn, New York, 1935
- Jones Horse-Drawn Streetcar, circa 1875 - The horse-drawn streetcar was an important means of public transportation in 19th-century American cities. New York's Brooklyn City Railroad ran this car on its line between Hunters Point in Long Island City, and Erie Basin in South Brooklyn. But horses were expensive to stable and feed -- and messy too. Operators embraced electric streetcars starting in the late 1880s.
