| Post subject: | Car barn extension fundraser. |
From the Shelburne Falls Trolley Museume "We are outgrowing our 2-stall 40x60 ft Car Barn. We need more room to protect at least one of the MBTA PCC cars that we have on the property, as well as room for two more trolley arrivals that are in the works. The extension will allow us to keep four cars under cover. We plan to include a pit for working on the PCC cars. The extension of the Car Barn will provide protected storage for our collection, as well as space to perform restoration. We regularly operate Shelburne Falls and Colrain Street Railway No. 10 (Wason 1896). We also have two MTA/MBTA PCC cars (Pullman-Standard-Worcester, 1951), one of which, the last trolley built in Massachusetts, is in the early stages of restoration. We have been offered the body of Fitchburg and Leominster Street Railway No. 60 (Wason 1904) and are working on its transportation to SFTM. This gives us an early trolley, mid-era trolley and a late-model trolley, all made and operated in Massachusetts. In 2020 we expect to also be long-term host to an operating trolley with Massachusetts heritage. All of these trolleys deserve to have access to covered storage." http://www.sftm.org/grantmatch.shtml |
