Car 2600 Passing Diesel 1 at Hancock passing siding on the premises of the Connecticut Trolley Museum

Car 2600 was built in 1929 for use in Montreal on Montreal Tramways was operated there until 1959. After that, the Connecticut Trolley Museum recieved the car and is seen here during a training run. Imagine the thousands and thousands of people that rode this car in Montreal, and at the Connecticut Trolley Museum. She certainly is an excellent workhorse to the museum's fleet of trolleys!

The small blue 25 tonner diesel that 2600 is passing operated at Hartford Electric. The diesel was built in 1949 and was recieved by the museum in 1987. The diesel has been fully restored and is used to shuffle cars around. Diesel 1 is seen here doing some switching around public operations.
