I love Fontaine Fox's The Toonerville Trolley That Meets All the Trains. The Skipper takes advantage of the powerful springs that support the trolley pole.

Cities and towns all over the nation claim that their transit systems inspired Fontaine Fox's The Toonerville Trolley That Meets All the Trains. Fox himself said that he got the original idea from a decrepit streetcar in the Pelhams. This article claims that a fleet of cars that in Monterey inspired Fox. The cars, which had only one survivor, were bought from San Francisco in the 1890s. I wonder if they were grip cars from cable lines that were shut down or upgraded.
