Seashore Trolley Museum 75th

One of my favorite places to go railfanning is the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine. This year they are celebrating their 75th anniversary. On Saturday, July 5th they had their annual “Founders Day” Trolley parade showing off its extensive collection. Leading the parade was the Biddeford & Saco Line No. 31 the museum’s first trolley. The parade was narrated by long time member Scott Hopper, giving detailed history about each trolley. The museum also reintroduced the Montreal “Golden Chariot” No 2, observation car, this car had underwent some much needed restoration. Below are a few of the many photos taken on that day, you can see all of them on the official Train Aficionado Fickr page.
