This street scene by the Syracuse, NY, train station (c. 1905) shows a train locomotive, a horseless brougham (with a set of pretty substantial-looking rear wheels) sitting next to the tracks, a number of baggage trolleys, a few (horsed) broughams awaiting passengers, and a “ghost” horse (that driver must’ve picked up his passengers and started moving out of the frame during the exposure).

Isn’t the omnibus standing next to the train an electric one?

Yes, absolutely! That’s what I was trying to say by calling it “horseless,” as opposed to the ones to the left that are powered by actual horses. 🙂
