Our trolley is patterned after the original horse car that first appeared on the streets of Baltimore, Maryland in 1828 and later operated in most major cities in America.

By the mid 1800s there were over 400 street trolley companies in the United States operating approximately 6,000 miles of track carrying 188 million passengers per year. The number of animals needed to pull these horse cars in a large city was staggering. At one time, The West End Street Railway of Boston ran the world's largest system and maintained about 8,000 horses and mules in order to provide service on a daily basis from early morning until late evening. Electric-powered streetcars replaced horse cars in late 1887 and early 1888 after the first successful electric powered system was installed in Richmond, Virginia.

Rawhide Partners' horse-drawn trolley is now available for your outdoor parties and special events. Complete details: info@rawhidepartners.com and visit our website: www.rawhidepartners.com
