The horse got a well deserved ride back down the hill after pulling the trolley up the hill in 1890

Tracks laid on a sloping street required the horse to pull the trolley up to the end of the line.

The the horse is unhitched and catches a ride either on the trolley or a trailer cart and then the trolley is allowed to make the return run down the hill using gravity and the braking system on the car
