Electro-Motive...


Problem solved:  The Astoria Waterfront Trolley pulls its own source of electricity, a generator, up and down the line!  Pretty clever, these  Astorians!  The trolley runs on unused railroad right of way, and installing overhead lines would have made the project impossible.

It looks great and they came up with an even better solution.

Great idea and looks like it was well maintained.

I would enjoy a trip and it must be nice inside too

Oh what fun to look at, let alone ride in. Brilliant solution. With as much unused track as there is, more folks ought to salvage it creatively. Cool shot.
