Size comparison. The East Troy Electric Railroad and Museum. East Troy Wisconsin USA. September 2006.

I took this photo last September on My honeymoon vacation. I had just got married in June last year, but I work as an outside sales rep for a soda company...and summer is My busy season at work. We waited until the 2nd week of September to take our long overdue honeymoon.

Seen here from left to right, is a 1908 wooden interurban electric coach from Sheboygan Wisconsin. To the right, is a 1924 electric city streetcar from the city of Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Interurbans were large electric trolleys that travelled between towns and citties much like a greyhound bus does today, while city streetcars originally did the job that transit buses do now.
