streetcar in Ruthven, Ontario, Canada 1911

Perhaps "rural lane car" would be more appropriate. 

The historical "streetcar" connected to Ruthven, Ontario refers to the Windsor, Essex and Lake Shore Rapid Railway (WE&LSR). This historic electric radial interurban railway operated through Essex County, connecting small rural communities with larger urban hubs. The electric interurban rail line operated from 1907 to 1932. 

The railway spanned 37 miles (60  km) of single track from Windsor through Maidstone, Essex, and Kingsville, heading right into Ruthven before terminating at Leamington. Past Kingsville, the track followed the shore highway until it reached a point just south of Ruthven. It then made a sharp turn north directly into the heart of the town, swung southeast back toward the lake, and continued straight north to enter Leamington via Erie Street. The postcard captures one of these classic electric cars turning off County Road 45 just north of Union, facing east toward Ruthven and Leamington. 

The majority of the heavy, wooden-bodied interurban electric motor cars and trailers used along this route were manufactured by the Niles Car and Manufacturing Company out of Niles, Ohio, as well as cars sourced from the Ottawa Car Company in Ontario, Canada.

This network provided crucial passenger and freight transit for farmers and commuters in southern Ontario who were otherwise unserved by major steam railroads. Due to the rise of personal automobiles and the Great Depression, the line permanently closed in September 1932. Today, nearby Windsor preserves this regional transit history with its fully restored Streetcar No. 351 on display along the waterfront.
