NYMT 2008 Holly Trolley Rides
Loading...
Uploaded by rgvrrm on Dec 14, 2008
For the first three weekends in December (ride again during these weekends in 2009 too!), the New York Museum of Transportation operated its "Holly Trolley Rides" in cooperation with Remelt's Evergreen Acres Christmas Tree Farm which borders the NYMT property. Visitors to either the tree farm or the museum were able to board the NYMT ex-Philadelphia & Western 'Strafford' interurban car for a ride on the museum's demonstration railroad that connects the NYMT to the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum. From November to the start of May, the NYMT is open on Sundays, but trolley rides are not offered except for special events like this one. From May through October, trolley and track car rides connecting the NYMT to the R&GVRRM are offered on Sundays.
On this Saturday, December 13, 2008, the weather started sunny with blue skies only to have Rochester's ever variable weather shift quickly to overcast with a good breeze. This did not damper the spirits of the trolley crew or the people who rode the Holly Trolley with the car's heaters working to keep the occupants warm on this cold day. We hope you enjoy this video on the Holly Trolley and wish everyone Happy Holidays!

Sister car No. 164 has just been purchased by the Electric City Trolley Msueum in Scranton, PA. It was previously the "Red Rocket" at the East Troy RR Museum. Hope it enjoys it's new home.

Beleive it or not the orange/red paint scheme that No. 161 is wearing was the exact paint scheme that SEPTA painted their two ex-P&W work motors, Nos. 401-402, both of which are preserved in PA trolley museums.
BTW: If you saw a photo of these cars in their original configuration I will guarantee you that nobody would have called them trolleys. Though they did have trolley poles and vestibule steps, they also had high-mounted headlights and bulkhead doors like subway-elevated cars.
