Evidence, credit & reuse: Public domain in the United States: book published in Brooklyn in 1904; faithful scan. Full page retained. Its upper illustration is Pequot Library in Southport, not a New Haven trolley station. Do not use that illustration alone as trolley evidence. This is a guide, not an operator-issued timetable with departure times. Proportionally resized JPEG scan; no historical content added, retouched or removed.
