What are the tracks in the snow, trolley, railroad or carriage?
Looks like a switch, turn-out to our HO friends, to a siding or passing track.

Think that might be from a carriage or wagon; pull off to side to drop off or pick up someone....

We can pretend it is what we like it to be just as we do with our layouts. :)
I agree it is a nice scene not often seen on a post card.

Somehow, a charming scene; I'm not sure why I say so; perhaps, it is due, in my mind, to its being a slice-of-life moment caught in a photo.

There are people in the picture that are not caring about a photograph being made and are going about their business.
The man crossing the tracks is not blurry from movement so the photographer either had a very good camera or knew what he was doing.

On a warmer day. Notice the different type of hats and clothing.

Narrow gauge, methinks. Inspiration for the On30 modelers.
