A Wagon Mishap

On streets where there were trolley tracks it was common practice for wagons to use them as they made easier and smoother traveling. When the wagon was leaving the tracks the back end would often slide sideways temporarily. This happened once with Jim and the trolley which was starting to pass struck the left real wheel and smashed it. This happened on Main Street near Shurs Lane in Manayunk. Jim had to walk all the way home with the horse to get the spare wagon and drive back to transfer the load before he could finish delivering the milk in East Falls.
