The motorman standing near the side of the trolley is covering some of the words on the side [Illegible] "RAILWAY & LIGHTING COMPANY." The streetcar has two entrance doors and two handles. The trolley also has windows and a light. The name of a street, "OAK ST." is on the front of the trolley car. The town name, day of the week, month, and the day is on a banner at the front of the trolley, "BRIDGEPORT/ MONDAY/ MAY 20." In the background, there is a partial view of a building, trees, and a utility pole.
