The rails shown in the photo labeled "Richmond Trolley Tracks" are not trolley tracks and were not part of the old streetcar system. These rails run SW/NE along Stockton Street in Manchester and no line of the streetcar ever ran on Stockton Street. A map verifying the location of Richmond trolley tracks can be found at this URL: http://chpn.net/news/wp-content/uploads/2006/02/01-map-2.jpg The rails in the photo were used by freight trains to service the warehouse loading doors seen at the top of the photo on the right side of the rails.

One location where the streetcar rails are partially visible through the pavement is at the intersection of Laurel and Cumberland streets in Oregon Hill.
