Astoria
Pacific Power & Light Co.
The front car is Birney #15 which was built by American Car in 1918.
Downtown Astoria suffered a huge and very devastating fire on Sept 8, 1922 which destoryed most of the business section of the city.  The destruction was so complete that the streetcar service was never restored.  This photo was taken after the fire when the cars were being sold for junk.
