Not sure if I have this under the right area, but here is my question :) There appears to be several issues of Electric Railway Journals scanned in by some University, Google has them. I see July-Dec 1901 scanned in, I am seeking Jan-Jun 1901 Electric Railway Journal. Anyone know if this has been sc...

I just want anyone to understand that there are very few museum of our type and we either had to act and get this stuff or it would have been lost years ago, by comig here it gives this stuff a chance. We are not an art museum or a town historical society that can house small stuff. Every town of an...

Many of us are dedicated and wish we had millions of dollars to save everything and protect everything. I work a part time job in addition to my full time job for the first time on my life to bring in a little extra cash so I can give it to the museum. SM89, not sure if we have ever meet, but I alwa...

From the pictures I've seen (never been), the museum seems to have tons of decrepit rusting trains littered throughout the property. Do they get them that way and restore them over time or do they just sit outside in the elements and decay after a new trolley comes in and gets all the attention? wo...

Ben Minich puchased a Brill 21E from an old sweeper in japan, so we have a truck with two correct motors on it. Danny Cohen thinks a K10 Controller will go with the car. This weekend I am having a meeting with Donald Curry and start to go over the car for the curitorial report.

My last visit to Seashore was on July 5, 2008. The main interest in the trackless trolley collection is former Edmonton BBC #125. I'd also like to see former Hamiltion GM Articulated bus #518203 which I had ridden on a few occasions when it was in revenue service! Of course, I'd also like to see th...

Question: Why does the T machines at subway stations print out paper monthly passes and if you buy one from a 7-eleven they have a T machine that prints the pass info (like IE for Inner Express) on a plastic pass.

I read that Seashore is planning on selling 11 ex Boston PCCs including six ex Dallas double ended PCCs. However, 608 and 3340 are not among them. Also, next year I am planning on visiting Seashore again; mainly to see the equipment acquired since my last visit. Hopefully I'll be able to ride a PCC...

The Seashore Trolley Museum might have photos, check with Ed Ramsdell or Tom Santaeelli. The museum does own an actual B&M bus. A 1949 GMC # 784
