Thank you to all for a great season this year. Despite the break in and theft the museum suffered in February, http://windsorlocks.patch.com/articles/trolley-museum-vandalized-in-copper-theft, a lot has been accomplished in 2012. We were able to partner with local businesses, and together with Joe's...

Everything is running quite smoothly right now, except for the cars that we now have to cycle through the restoration shop and spend countless hours and dollars on repairing.

Remember this Saturday is the Annual Meeting. Throughout the day, trolley cars will be operating. Other special equipment will be outside on display. Work will be ongoing in the shop and elsewhere on the property. At 2pm, the Windsor Locks Preservation Association will be presenting a donation to th...

Official or unofficial, it is a great information source. Not debating the quality of the content... But if it is a blog written by museum volunteers, about the museum activities, then I would just drop the "unofficial" part. If it's so unofficial, why is there a link to it from the CTM w...

Official or unofficial, it is a great information source. Keep seeing you run out of parking for events. What ever happened to the shuttle bus idea you used years ago? Used to park at a nearby strip mall and catch a shuttle to the museum. ...Ken We use the shuttle during Winterfest. The problem wit...

Why are you directing us to the "unofficial" blog? I want to read the official blog of CTM.

While I don't agree with the extreme cost of electrification, the fact that it is taxpayer funds, and the rules that the museum is bringing up to justify the cost (which no other electrified railway that crosses utilities has), the one thing that I do agree with is that they applied for the grant a...

You guys had a pretty good afternoon crowd too. I stopped by on my way to the CNZR to check out the RS-1and saw STRC 16 up by Kelly and looked at S-193 and 18. One of the Montreal cars was in service. The place is coming along! Thank you. We have been working hard for the past few years trying to c...

Saturday was an amazing day for Rails to the Darkside! We had nearly eight hundred riders and by 645pm the parking lot was full...we don’t open until 7. We finally finished bringing people through around 1130. At one point lines extended just over halfway to Kelly Carhouse.

The B&A Caboose is sitting at the museum right now on the Visitor Center Access Tracks. We hope to begin work on the caboose this winter, and plan to be using it in the next year or two for Birthday Parties and other events or meetings. The caboose needs to be re-insulated & sided and needs ...

They have a nice international collection located inside their shop and storage building. My problem is that the few times that I have been there are to dismantle equipment be...

Does anyone know if the information is available and where I can get it... When the B&A was getting rid of their cabooses, where were they disposed of? I am looking for the number for the former B&A Caboose that was located at the Depot Restaurant in Mansfield Depot, CT.
