Amherst Railway Society Appreciation Day at the Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum
In appreciation of Amherst Railway Society's long-term support, the
Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum invites all Amherst Railway Society
members to join us for Members Day at the museum on Saturday
August 6, 2005. An ARS membership card gets you free admission and
free trolley rides from 11am to 5pm. Additionally, ARS members can
sign up for the Members Day lunch (menu to be announced at
www.sftm.org later) for the members price of $9. Call 413-625-9443 to
make reservations. On Members Day we will also have trackmobile-
powered caboose rides, pump car rides, a presentation on "Virtual
Railroading" by Al Barten (http://www.virtualrailroader.com) and a slide show.
The museum is also looking for volunteers to operate our trolley car, sell
tickets, and do track work and building and rolling stock repairs. Please
contact Sam Bartlett at 413-624-0192 or sam@sftm.org if you would like
to help.
The Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum is 8 miles west of Greenfield on
Guilford's Fitchburg line in Shelburne Falls, in the Buckland Freight
Yard, just up the hill from the Bridge of Flowers, which was built to carry
trolleys in 1908. See www.sftm.org for more details.
