Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum

From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere

The Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum is a small museum in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, United States.

The museum is dedicated to preserving and operating car number 10 of the former Shelburne Falls and Colrain Street Railway. This is a combination passenger-baggage trolley car built by the Wason Manufacturing Company of Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1896 and is the last known trolley car from the Shelburne Falls & Colrain Street Railway.

In 1992 Marshall Johnson donated car number 10 (which his father had bought and saved when the Shelburne Falls & Colrain Street Railway shut down) to a small group of people who restored the car back to working order.

The Museum also has a small assortment of equipment that is not related to the Shelburne Falls & Colrain Street Railway like Baldwin 0-4-0 tank locomotive, ex-Central Vermont caboose, a Central Vermont handcar, and other railroad and trolley equipment.

The Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum is located in the old Buckland Freight yard.
