"Lonely Ride, Somewhere in Time"

"Mr. Redwings" is in a 1907-era Brooklyn Union Elevated Car. Built by Jewett Car Co. of Newark, Ohio, the wooden-bodied cars were self-propelled on electrified lines.

 

Seen at the New York Transit Museum, Brooklyn, NY. The museum is housed underground in a subway station decommissioned in 1945. The trains roll out in summertime, giving rides on NYC subway tracks.

 

Thanks to model Danie.

Thanks to Joe F. (NYC MODEL TRANSIT SYSTEM) for his discussion (see comments below) and corrections to this description of the picture.
