I don't know. I was invited by my local club members to the Branford museum to make a nice donation. They assisted us in partaking on this extra activity I guess because of our generous donations.

This is an old R-17, but not in New York. It's the B.E.R.A. museum in Connecticut, where you can take a ride with them & if you become a member & volunteer to help repair these giant iron horses & their equipment is another venue.

@123sorakiller

Good luck with that.

why weren't any train traffic lights?

[SuzukiiNY]

@litonliton62

It was at Branford's North Shore Trolley Museum in Conn. That's why.

@4P3607 Maybe the R46s will come to museums like this one.

[rbjplay13]

If you're the guest operator, do all of your friends come on for free or do they need to buy tickets? I'm driving the R-17 today and I'm really excited and we would like to know the answer.

@MyComputerwizard To drive a subway car, a trip to Branford, CT, Shoreline Trolley Museum, and $60 on the listed weekend on the website. Or a trolley for $50.

I wish 2 someday become a train operater. I dream of driving the culver express. I wish they would put the R46 back on there but they will be retired in 2015 (and im 13).
