The Shore Line Trolley Museum

Volunteer trolley operator training begins February 21, and enrollment is still open. This hands-on, structured training program prepares new volunteers for one of the museum’s most important roles

Every trolley ride begins with a trained volunteer operator. That’s why training and preparation matter — and why this role is essential to everything we do.

Our Volunteer Trolley Operator Training Program begins in February, and enrollment is now underway. This is a hands-on, training program for new volunteers interested in operating historic trolley cars. Space is limited. 👉 shorelinetrolley.org/trolley-operat…

When the trolleys aren’t carrying passengers, the work doesn’t stop. This is how a museum in motion stays in motion. #BehindTheScenes #MuseumInMotion #HistoricPreservation #WinterMaintenance #RailwayHistory #WorkingMuseum #ShoreLineTrolleyMuseum

As we turn the calendar, we want to say thank you. To the volunteers who showed up in all conditions, the guests who were patient through winter challenges, and everyone who helped make this season possible — we are truly grateful.

Happy New Year! Thank you for being part of our community. We look forward to the year ahead and hope to see you aboard in 2026. #HappyNewYear #MuseumInMotion #ShoreLineTrolleyMuseum #PreservingHistory #Community
