Title	Temple Street Cable Railway car with its trailer at the juncture of Temple Street and Hoover Street, ca.1889
Description	Photograph of a Temple Street Cable Railway car with its trailer at the juncture of Temple Street and Hoover Street during mid-winder, ca.1889. The main car stands at left with the number seven painted on its side with a sign reading "Spring, Temple & City Limits". To the left, a second car that does not seem to have any means of propulsion is hitched to the primary car and seems to be mainly for passengers. Two conductors stand on the ground in front of the two cars, dressed in their uniforms, which include straw hats. Hills are visible in the background. Picture File Card reads "Graded from top of hill to Hoover. Walter F.(?) Maxwell, president of Temple St. Cable RR.".
