Info on State of Art Raid Transit cars but none n the cars you can ride!
What a contrast to Shore Line Trolley and Narket Street Railway!
The Facebook material belongs on the Website, not just Facebook.
Big mistake on Seashore's part
It usually gets there pretty quickly. The decision to put the car in public service wasn't finalized until Wednesday.
Well. whoever put it on Facebook could have put it on the website.
I avoid Facebook as much as possible.
And the lack of an equipment list with descriptions and photos is shameful.
If NSRA can do it, so can Seashore. www.streetcar.org
At least the operating fleet.
Visit the Branford website, www.bera.org
You probably answered this before:
Does the car at Seashore still have its attachment to take a cnduit plow?
The plow bracket is off for the moment to allow for motor access. It's easy enough to remount it, and it will get it out of the shop.
Glad to know it is preserved. 629 at Branford lost it when equipped with poles for Bronx service, and the Third Avenue car at Seashore: 646-686 were alway pole cars.
Rode DC 1304's last pre-service test run yesterday. The plow hanger has been re-installed. There's a plow on display on a bracket inside the car. Other than a sticky gong, it ran quite nicely. The web site www.trolleymuseum.org now shows the event.
Like many U.S. museums Seashore has had to adapt to strange circumstances this year. Only Friday, July 3, did the Governor lift 14-day quarantine restrictions for residents of New England. New Hampshire and Vermont were exempted earlier. Other states get a long wait.
Thanks. Sure Jack May will want to visit just to ride it!
I would too if I were still living in New York or Boston (Cambridge).
