National Capital Trolley Museum

It’s a trolley, it’s a boat, it’s a… Blackpool Boat Tram! On Friday, Oct. 14, we attended the dedication of the Blackpool Boat Tram at the National Capital Trolley Museum. Originally from Blackpool, England, this unique vehicle is a recent arrival to the museum’s collection.
What a wonderful resource for those who want to visit with our not-so-distant past and those interested in light rail. The National Capital Trolley Museum is back on track and running strong, after a major fire in 2003 and its recent relocation to accommodate the ICC. The museum is one of the “secret” treasures of Montgomery County that shouldn’t be a secret. Visit it on the web at http://www.dctrolley.org and then come visit in person at their new location: 1313 Bonifant Road, Colesville, MD 20905-5955.
