Capital Transit/DC Transit. Sister car 766 is preserved and, I think, still running at the National Capital Trolley Museum.

I wonder if this is the same loco that appears in the background:
Looks pretty similar (PRR B6-B #134). Those look like city cops standing along the ROW.

I just type in topics I dream up on the search bar. Search results typically key on the captions entered for the photo or image. In my experience, if you search on "trolley" you might get 20% of the images featuring trolleys, the reason being many urban photos which might include images of trolleys do not include "trolley" in the caption. For instance, the photo caption might say "Canal Street and 13th Street, Toledo, Ohio", or "Business district, New Orleans". It's a bit of a crapshoot. I find searching on location is better than searching on subject.
I think for this particular image, I was just wading through generic pictures of Brooklyn.
Hope this helps.
Sure does. Thanks.
Jim
