Thank you!

As we wrap up 2010 we wish to say a big thank you to all the customers, workers, and volunteers that helped make this a good year. We were able to have

• Trolley rides,
• Caboose rides,
• Dinner trains,
• Holiday trains,
• Regular trains, and
• a Civil War reenactment.

This year we also:

• restored a passenger car,
• cleaned up a lot of the yard for our transload project, and
• re-gauged the Red Arrow Trolley and put it in the shop for further restoration.

We look forward to an even better year in 2011.

In 1984 Mr. Wendell Dillinger bought the 441 Rio De Janiero Tram/Rio JT from The Fox River Trolley Museum in South Elgin, Illinois. This trolley was built in 1909.

In May 2007 it looked liked this:

By August of 2007 it was well into the restoration process. Here’s the newly restored inside:

In October of 2007 it was out of the barn and on the tracks again!

Since then it has been used for special occasions including the Middletown Autumn fests.

If you have never had the pleasure of riding in an open trolley you should come visit. Come hear the clang, clang, clang of the trolley!
