1911.  Lots of trolley car wrecks, "last ride on the
xxx line", and photos of other trolleys and streetcars
from around the world.  There is even a Mickey Finn
color comics cartoon of 8 panels dated Nov 17, 1957
that highlights the entire scrapbook as the story line
there is one on the "last day for the trolley operation
in town" and how Mr. Flanagan was selected to drive
the "last run" because of his many years of service
with no incidents.  Of course, the trolley, in its
"final run" ends up crashing.  Over 100 photos and 
clipped articles on the subject.  Back cover has a
pasted-on map of "Johnstown Traction Company (Pa.)
Trackage" including keyed "operating trackage", 
"abandoned trackage", and "class I railroads" dated
July of 1958.  Some of the locations around Johnstown
shown on this map are Oakhurst, Franklin, Ferndale,
Roxbury, Southmont and others.  Cover well preserved.
