Because the old transportation photos we’ve posted here on the blog have been so popular, we’re hoping to be able to post even more. Last week, we put the call out to CAA members, asking for submissions of old photos … anything, specifically, showing old scenes of animal-drawn transportation. One of our members — Hardy Zantke, from California — was kind enough to send us these wonderful old images:
