22 THE BOROUGH OF THE BRONX 



Prior to the advent of horse cars, a stage coach would carry 

 passengers to the Harlem Bridge, where they could continue down- 

 town by means of either the Third Avenue horse cars or the 

 steamboat. 



Today the brilliantly lighted cars of the Union Railroad Com- 

 pany, whose splendid trolley system may well stand as a model 

 for other and less enterprising communities, has been one of the 

 chief factors in the upbuilding of The Bronx.
