Trolley Museum President Speaks at Rotary Meeting

The East Haven Rotary Club recently invited Shore Line Trolley Museum President Wayne Sandford to speak at a weekly meeting. Sandford presented a slide presentation of many of the vehicles in the museum’s inventory, giving interesting backgrounds on the cars and the various activities and displays that can be seen by visitors there.

The Shore Line Trolley Museum, operated by the Branford Electric Railway Association, Inc., strives to educate the public about the story of the trolley and related forms of mass transit in their historic context. The museum operates the Branford Electric Railway, opened in 1900, which is recognized by the U.S. Department of the Interior as the oldest continuously operated suburban trolley line in the United States. The museum’s line and equipment are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Branford Electric Railway Historic District.
