Trolley 🚃 Museum ~ Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts ~ my US adventures 🇺🇸

in #hive-1244522 years ago

Hi all 👋🏻

I want to share today with you all, my captures at the Trolley Museum, that was closed… but don’t you worry 😉 it still had trolleys/ cars outside for us to see.
Are you joining me? 😊

Today’s selection will be of 23 photographs, where I take you along on a visit to ”Shelburne Falls” - #Massachusetts.

I visited this area on 30 September and it is part of my #trip around some New England #States in the USA 23 September - 9 October 2022 🇺🇸 😊
We were driving along the “Mohawk Trail” in the State of Massachusetts and stopped on several locations. This museum was one of them.

The Photographs in this post are taken with my new #Canon R5 with 24 - 105 mm lens. 😎 I will follow the time stamp so it looks like you are seeing what I saw… as if you were right there with me 😊

Let me show you first its location on Google maps, see the yellow star ⭐️ :

Their website with more information you can find here: Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum.

Let’s have a look at what I saw:

After we parked the car we walked over the yard towards the Museum and saw some trolleys 🚃 on the left side.

Of course we went and looked closer at them already 😎😉

The blue Car had a sign.

It states:
”Boston and Maine Railroad Box Car.
This box car was built by Pullman-Standard Company in 1951 as one of the 77000-series cars. It carried goods all over New England on the Boston and Maine Railroad. In the 1980's it was sold by the railroad to the Agway store that was here. It was donated to us when we bought the yard from Norm Sessions.
In 1994 it was painted as a mural for a teen art project. In 2014 and again in 2018 it was painted with polka-dots by Caleb Neelon. In 2022 we had it painted in the B&M blue scheme it would have had when it was new, with a bequest from Dave and Polly Bartlett. We use this car to store track repair equipment and materials.”

Next we see this brown car. It looks like they are repainting it.

Than we see this truck that is used for work along the tracks. 😎👷🏻‍♀️👷🏻‍♂️

Stepping back a bit we see another car. Oh I do like this one… look at the texture… the rust 😊😎🤓 very cool.

Walking further towards the Museum we look back.

We see on the right side next to us another car.

The wooden poles have street names on them. 🤓

We reach the Museum now.

We see it is closed. What a shame. We can’t see the trolleys and cars inside the buildings… but we can have a closer look around on the yard. 😎😊

The sign on the building: Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum! 🚃

Next to this building we see:

As we walk back we look closer to the car/ trolley we just passed.

It also has a sign.

It states:
”Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority 3321.
"Last Trolley Built in Massachusetts"
This "PCC Car" is a trolley car built in 1951 by the Pullman- Standard company of Worcester, MA, for the Metropolitan Transit Authority, later to become the MBTA. It ran in Boston its entire service life, from 1951 to 1985. It served primarily on what is now the Green Line. MBTA 3321 was then moved to Brooklyn, NY, for an abortive streetcar project. It was flooded by Hurricane Sandy while stored there. With help from Shoreline Trolley Museum in Branford, CT, it was moved here by Silk Road Trucking in 2015.
We plan a cosmetic restoration to the Orange and Cream appearance of the 1950's.”

Very cool… 🤓 that they restore it now.

Walking towards the other side to check out the rusty car… 😎

On the yard we see also benches for you to rest if you are tired or just want to enjoy the area.

Look back towards the museum and the other buildings. You see a station on this side.

Up to the rusty car 😎🤓

It also has a sign for us to read 😊

It states:
”Bangor and Aroostook Railroad 230.
This passenger car was built for the Bangor and Aroostook (Maine) Railroad (BAR) in 1934, to a popular style used throughout New England. It was built by the Osgood-Bradley Company of Worcester MA. It carried passengers on the BAR for a number of years before being sold to the Maine Central Railroad, renumbered to 901, and used as a crew car on track maintenance and wreck trains.
With generous donations by Jane Hanford and James Davenport, it was brought here on its own wheels in 1998.
Because a popular model train was based on these cars, they are often referred to as "American Flyer Cars”.
This car is now used for storage, we plan to restore it for a maintenance of way display.”

A closer look… so cool the weathered steel.

And now we saw everything that was outside of this Museum on their yard, and walking back to the car we see:

Some beautiful autumnal colours appear 😎🍂🍁🍂🍁

Do check this Museum and surroundings out when you are in the area. It’s pretty cool 😊😎

And with that… I say: that’s all for today, join me in my next posts for more #adventures, #stories and #photographs 😎👋🏻 Even some #artworks once in a while will come by 🎨

Thank you kindly @ladiesofhive 😊👋🏻 Much appreciated!
Have a wonderful day ☀️🌺

Looks like a lovely place to visit - pity it wasnt open. I think they have their work cut out for them in the trolleys they want to renovate - they are very rusty ! Thanks for sharing
!PIZZA

It was a great little place to visit.
That’s what I thought too, the work needed to restore the ones outside was rather a lot. I did like the rusty one. It does look pretty cool. I would treat it well and clear coat it so it stays like that.
But rust means it will spread, whatever you do… if not removed fully. 😎
Happy to share @hoosie
Have a great evening and enjoy your Friday! 👋🏻😊

Beautiful photos especially the ones with the old rusty car.
Funny last month, I just visited a train museum near Montreal aka ExpoRail, very cool but no car as rusty as yours 😀

Thank you so much @heroldius 😊😎
That’s cool you visited a train museum too. I like things like this.
The rusty one is just great. I would leave it like that and treat it appropriately so it doesn’t go further, rust wise. It just gives it that something extra. 😎🤩
Thanks for sharing with me. They look cool all cosy together 😉
Have a great evening!

The trains look like true artifacts with lots of history behind them.

They sure did @jachy 😊
Have a wonderful day today, enjoy it. ☀️

😊😊😊
Sure I will.

It's a beautiful place, those old trolley cars provide a diversity of fantastic images... It's a pity that the museum as such was closed, but the outside has provided you with a lot of superb images...

You have a photo there that I found very special because of the angle of the shot... It looks like a "window to times gone by"... It is this one:

It was great to still be able to wander around a little, even though it was closed.
How could I not take photographs 🤓😉 still lots to see.

I like that capture too as it could well be placed in any day in time, especially in the last… long forgotten times 🤓
You are welcome, happy to share my adventures and travels.

Happy to share my travels.

What a great adventure this is Jackie :) It's nice to see those trolleys which stood the test of time. They would probably last a lot more decades there.

Thank you so much @ifarmgirl 😊 it was great to see some.
It did look like they did take care of them and are restoring them to their original forms and colours.
A fun trip it was 😎
Have a wonderful day today 👋🏻😊

That's awesome! Thank you too and I enjoyed the adventure through your photos :)
Cheers to you today and always!
