Trolleys

You know the places that are close by but you never have visited? Well, I was up in Connecticut and Massachusetts visiting my Dad and we were trying to think of something to do. I have passed by the signs between home and the airport for the Trolley Museum for probably more than 30 years. So this time we decided to check it out. We started out watching the movie and then went out to ride a trolley. They have pretty much non stop trolley rides on various restored trolleys. The one we rode was a unique top-less version with stadium seating. I think it was originally used in Canada. We had a fun time riding the trolley. The museum also has a fire engine museum which had a least a dozen restored fire trucks. We wandered around in the back where they were restoring more trolleys and buses. This area was not really for the general public but no one seemed to mind too much. I loved the old, rusted trolleys with all the textures. It was a fun visit and something I can check off my list.

Waiting for restoration. My family was from Kenmore, NY and I lived there when I was born. Too young to remember any trolleys.
