Decided to check up on the restoration of a trolley that's been flying under everyone's radar.
Helena Trolley # 3 which ran in Helena Montana from 1908 to 1927 was getting restored. The work progressed a fairly good amount before the person overseeing the project passed away and it stalled. And it's been stalled for around a decade just sitting in storage (inside and protected from the weather thankfully) waiting for someone or a group of people to come back and finish what was started.
