Car No. 52 of the Waltham & Boston Street Railway stands on tracks beside a railroad crossing marked by a crossbuck sign. A motorman is visible at the controls. The car's sign reads "WALTHAM & BOSTON STREET RAILWAY," identifying equipment from the line that connected Waltham, west of Boston, with the city. The scene reflects the everyday operation of early twentieth-century street railways, when trolleys carried commuters and local passengers between Boston and its suburban towns.
White border; black-and-white photograph; streetcar sign reads 'WALTHAM & BOSTON STREET RAILWAY'; crossbuck sign at upper left.
No postmark. Unused real-photo postcard on Kodak paper, divided back, white border; handwritten place note "Waltham, Mass." at top; no stamp, no message.
