Question

use the text to compare and contrast trolley cars and trains. there was a time when people were more likely to use trains and trolley cars to get around, rather than cars. trains carried people and goods from town to town and from state to state. trolleys, on the other hand, carried people short distances around town. unlike trains, which were powered by huge engines, trolleys needed to be connected to electric wires in order to run. both trains and trolleys ran on tracks, though they didnt run on the same kind of tracks. train tracks were built a few inches above ground, while trolley tracks were right on the street. this allowed trolleys to run alongside cars, bikes, and buses.
