[MassHistPres] trolley

[Alan McArdle]

You might also try the Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum, at least as a
resource for finding a trolley. Their contact informaion is on their web
site at http://www.sftm.org/ which also seems to have a fair amount of other
information about trolleys as well. They run a restored light rail trolley
at their museum.
