At the Connecticut Trolley Museum on a warmer November day, Open Car 1850 is making one of it's last runs for the season before the colder weather arrives. This scene, if taken in black and white could probably pass for a view from the 1910's.

Car 1850 was operated in Rio de Jeneiro, Brazil and was constructed in 1912. It's an old car, but still running good, and fast; providing joy and memories to all that ride the car.

For more information about the Connecticut Trolley Museum which will be commencing operations for public on the first weekend of April, please visit www.ceraonline.org

Also, if you are going to the Amherst Railway Society Big Railroad Hobby Show in Springfield on Feb 7-8, be sure to visit the museum's table. We will have lot's of trolley goodies and things for you to buy, and you can talk to some of our motormen, possibly even join as a member and operate Car 1850 in April!!
