Two ex-North Shore cars (133 and 137) at State Rd (now Butterfield) on the Batavia branch, looking toward the SE.
This is a fantrip and the cars are stopped and have their poles up on the short stretch of trolley wire over the road.
Butterfield Rd has a very wide right-of-way, so the trolley wire was needed in case a car came to a stop in the long gap in the third rail.
