1943 VIEW on South Street, Pittsfield, showing wartime track removal in progress. Much of the trolley rail was pulled out of Pittsfield streets because of the urgent demand for scrap steel during World War II. Similar scenes were enacted in cities throughout the country where the trolleys had previously been abandoned.  (from a photograph by Edward J. Mahoney, Jr.)
