Automobiles in 1892
The phrasing of this sentence: "In Nashville, morning trains were delayed while automobiles and streetcars were unable to function" leads a reader to imagine streets filled with cars on a normal day. But in 1892 there cannot have been many more than a handful of automobiles throughout the entire city. Traffic would consist of horse-drawn carriages, buggies and wagons. For personal transportation, it was streetcars that were important. Regardless of what the source book might actually state, or in what context, the functioning - or not - of automobiles would have been entirely irrelevant. I'm deleting the words "automobiles and".
