NASS: The small single truck (four wheels), double end, arch roof trolleys seen in your film look very similar to Birney cars of the era. Cars like that were made by a few different builders, including J.G. Brill, the St. Louis Car Company, etc. The city of Charleston in Kanawha County (West Virginia) had a trolley operation from 1888 to 1939. The network consisted of city lines in Charleston and overland lines through North Charleston to Dunbar, South Charleston to St. Albans and Marmet to Cabin Creek Junction. The Charleston Interurban Railroad went bankrupt in 1933 and was recreated in 1935 as the Charleston Transit Co. It also took over the existing bus operation. The company was now anxious to get rid of the unprofitable rail traffic and on June 29, 1939 all routes still trolley were converted to bus. Buses took over the city traffic then and in the same year, intercity bus lines to Montgomery, St. Albans and Nitro went into operation. In the following years, the entire county was operated by bus lines. In 1971, the Kanawha Valley Regional Transportation Authority (KRT) took over the operation, which still operates numerous bus lines in Kanawha County. Today remains of the former trolley operation only the Kanawha Bridge, which is also decommissioned for rail traffic, as well as the building of the former depot, which is now used by an industrial plant. The buses were kept here until May 1950, until the new, still used today bus depot at 4th Avenue / Stockton Street was opened At a receiver’s sale in 1935, the property passed into the hands of the Charleston Transit Company, which converted the entire trolley operation to buses on June 29, 1939. www.mywvhome.com/twenties/streetcars.html

4:44 - 5:45 all those people, happy being filmed, beautiful sunny day, all gone, even the kids you see there. 94yrs ago. It's amazing watching these restorations by Nass, but sometimes a kinda sad feeling when you see people looking like they were filmed not too long ago, and you realise most of them are long gone, nevertheless that's life and it's a joy to watch these wonderful restorations.

Both of my Grandfathers owned country stores in rural Kanawha county and one in rural Lincoln county. Both were out old route 14 to Alum Creek. I can see now how it was when they were in town back then. The stories they would tell were amazing, from before the great depression, and into WW11 and beyond. A great many unique personalities lived within ten miles in any direction you went. Wonderful posting. At the end of the film you can see my aunt's house near the river, she is baking biscuits I bet from the amount of smoke.

Every time I see one of these videos it amazes me how drivers could parallel park so close together in those old cars with no power steering and no automatic transmissions. I realize that the skinny tires helped, but still…. At 4:45 what are all those people doing in one place? Looks like it was a hot, muggy day in West Virginia. Not many wearing a coat.

Your presuming you would have the ability to accumulate them. In 1932 the Employment rate was 21% and most americans were struggling just to put food on the table. Then in 9 Years the US would join WW2: Rationing and military draft.

A local theater (the Kearse) originally recorded this as a sort of time capsule film that would've been played after 20-30 years. This never happened, and instead, the film was discovered in the 1980s when they were demolishing the Kearse
