TOM GLOVER'S HAMILTON LIBRARY SCRAPBOOK: LOCAL HISTORY WITH A PERSONAL TOUCH.

IF ONE STOOD AT THE INTERSECTION OF DOWNTOWN TRENTON'S STATE AND BROAD STREETS IN THE LATTER 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURY, ONE WOULD SEE A MAZE OF TROLLEY TRACKS COMING TOGETHER FROM ALL POINTS IN THE COMPASS.
THE WORKERS IN THE PHOTO ARE ASSEMBLING A "GRAND UNION," WHICH ALLOWED TROLLEYS TO NEGOTIATE THE INTERSECTION FROM ANY PART OF THE INTERSECTION. IT WAS DURING THIS TIME ALSO THAT THE INTERSECTION HAD A MAZE OF TELEPHONE POLES AND WIRES.
