Seashore Trolley Museum, Kennebunkport, Maine


This is one of the trolley cars we rode...this one is from New York, circa 1930's


Longtime Bostonians may remember this...the old Northampton station on the Orange Line...the original station was transported to the Museum, and now they are actively raising funds to fully restore it for the enjoyment of rail fans everywhere!

 


Mike, train junkie extraordinaire, reading about one of the many exhibits...by the way, if I recall correctly, the "United States Railway Post" car shown here ran through York Beach once upon a time!


This was Christine's favorite car...it's an old tourist car from Montreal, Canada...Bostonians, think Duck Tours, and you know what we mean here!  It was built nearly 100 years ago, and ran for around half a century.

 


In English and Francais...this is what the tours cost back then!


Imagine our excitement when we saw this same car being taken out for passenger rides!  We rode two other cars that day (the above NYC car was one)...but this one was the best by far!

The Wedding Cake House, Kennebunkport, Maine


Not far from the Trolley Museum is the Wedding Cake House...according to legend, the house was built by a sea captain whose bride never got a wedding cake...because he was called to sea right after the wedding!


And here's the house!  It's privately owned, so we couldn't go inside...but it's still a cool place to see!
