For anyone who lived in Denver before 1950, the memory of the big yellow trolleys will last far longer than the buses that replaced them.  True, the tram cars were noisy.  They rocked and swayed and their clanging bells demanded a clear path in traffic... Dust of your memory now and let's take a trolley ride".  The flyleaf says that from the earliest horse and cable cars to the last runs in 1950, all the cars you remember riding are shown here.  The book is well illustrated with black and white photographs, rosters or company paper on almost every page.
Also included are a separate two page "Denver & Intermountain Railroad Company Employes' Time-Table No. 20 from March 1, 1943, a two page Time-Table No. 23 dated March 10, 1946, two trolley and one two page equipment drawings plus an undated six page "Official Route Map of the Denver Tramway Corporation".
