Service Learning Project at Seashore Trolley Museum 9-25-09.MPG

Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine, has restored the 1906 Atlantic Shore Line electric locomotive No. 100. This video is the introduction to the 43 interviews (oral histories) collected by 5th grade students at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the completed restoration of the locomotive and its companion exhibit History in Motion: Public Transportation Connecting Maine Communities. The student-lead interviews were part of a Service Learning project the students designed for Seashore Trolley Museum. For more on Service Learning go to www.kidsconsortium.org Video images captured and edited by 5th grade students from Mildred L. Day School in Arundel, ME. The electric locomotive project was funded in large part with resources made available through the Maine Department of Transportation via the Federal Transportation Enhance Act of the 21st Century (TEA-21). Matching funds were raised from a variety of sources, including a large number of generous Museum volunteers. Significant donations came from Amherst Railway Society, Kennebunk Savings Bank, National Railway Historical Society, Saco & Biddeford Savings Institution, Kennebunkport Business Association, Ocean National Bank, and The 470 Railroad Club. The major local sponsor for the project is the H. Albert Webb Memorial Railroad Preservation Award made available through the Massachusetts Bay Railroad Enthusiasts, Inc. (Mass Bay RRE).
