Historical Context
Horse-drawn trolley service began in Albany in 1864. The vehicles were operated by the Albany Railway Company, which began to introduce electric trolleys in 1890. In 1899, the company purchased a number of streetcar lines in Albany, Troy, Watervliet and Cohoes and consolidated under the United Traction Company name.
The rise of the automobile led to the decline of trolley systems nationwide. In the 1930s, United Traction gradually began to switch from trolleys to buses. The last one was taken out of service in 1946.
