This undated photograph shows Jamestown Street Railway Car 88 on the street of Jamestown. This car was a double-truck, double-end, one-man steel cars with an arch roof built by the St. Louis Car Company. Purchased from the Chicago & Joliet in April 1934. The C&J had purchased them from the Central Illinois Traction company.

Car 88 and sister Car 87 were used exclusively on the Falconer and Celoron-Lakewood lines exclusively. They were the only cars speedy enough to maintain the particularly tight Sunday and Holiday schedules on those lines. From the sign on Car 88 we can see that she is servicing the Falconer line on this day.
