Greetings – my great grandfather (David Davis Strait) was a conductor or motorman on the Oneonta street Trolley. I have a picture of him standing in uniform with other trolley personnel next to a trolley stopped at a station (presumably the station in Oneonta). The photo is dated 1913. Do you have a map of the track route of the street trolley, particularly through Oneonta to West Oneonta? Where was the Oneonta trolley station located…was it located at the current site of “The Depot” restaurant in Oneonta? Just a family curiosity thing. Thank you.
