History: Streetcars, a method of public transportation that involves moving overground train cars on rails, enjoyed popularity in the United States from their inception as horse-drawn vehicles in the early 19th century, to the development of the electric streetcar, and to their eventually decline in America as they gave way to the car culture of the mid-20th century. This stamp sheet highlights four noteworthy vehicles in the history of the streetcar.
