Still not having any success after following the directions for
posting photo URLs, so I'll have to continue doing it the old-fashioned
way, until my neighbor's 8 year old can come over and show me.

Here are some photos of the Pageant of Trolleys at the Shore Line
Trolley Museum.

Enjoy,
Lee

Lee,

Thanks for posting these great photos. You take nice pics.
I like this one in particular:

It won't be long before I can head out seriously to some of those train shows in the vicinity and beyond, slowly but surely....

With appreciation for sharing your photos,

Prairie

It's my pleasure to share the photos.

Take it slowly but surely. Things will get better.
I had open heart surgery (it was a surprise)
six weeks ago, so I, too am recovering and
still working toward full recovery. It sure
feels good to get out again, and I am now permitted
to drive again, albeit only on local roads...not
highways. The museum is 16 miles away, so it takes
me 30 minutes or so via roads...better than being a
prisoner in my own house for 5 weeks!

Lee, I am sorry to hear about your heart surgery. However you are making good progress, case in point, you were able to head out again very quickly (seems to me that open heart surgery is quite something to go through). You are doing well!!

I love being outside myself, just did a 4 hour walk at the Jersey shore. I either like an early morning walk or a 4 p.m. walk until dusk, so that I can catch the cool breezes. Not too much sun at those times also. I look forward to going to the train museum in CT next summer. CT is a beautiful state! It's good to know an OGR member who likes trolleys, like I do. I will find some good trolley-related posts for you. Keep posting your trolley photos!

Best wishes for a full recovery!!!!

Sorry to hear about your having surgery, Lee, but it sounds like you're bouncing back strongly!

I once had surgery that confined me to my home for better than 2 months. The ability to go outside and get around a bit is truly invigorating!

Take care of yourself!

many thanks!

Lee

Sorry to hear of your health problems Lee - but looks like you are coming around nicely! Nice to see you are able to get out and enjoy your hobby. It's great that you are so close to such an incredible place for a trolley / subway buff. I'm a member there, but rarely make it up there since it's close to a 2 hour drive.

Sorry I missed you Saturday. Would have been nice to put a face to the name. From the looks of this picture you took...


...and this one I took...


...one look at the lighting I would have to guess you were there for the 12:30 runs while I didn't make it until the 2:30 runs. You had better light, I just couldn't get up there that early. Actually, I probably could have made it, but my wife's conference was canceled so I had to wait for her to get ready so she could join me.

Here's a few more from a fun day...

Pageant of Trolleys

Thanks, guys.

Yes, I'm very lucky....I live 16 miles from Branford, where
I volunteer operating cars and helping out in the signal dept..
and 13 miles from Essex, where, since my retirement, I'm employed
as a trainman a few days a week. Couldn't ask for a better retirement!
It'll be about 5 or 6 more weeks before I can go back to being on the
cars and trains, according to the doctor today. Can't wait!

Chris, you got some good shots in the afternoon light. You're right,
I was at the 11:30 parade. Maybe one of these times, we'll run into
each other.

Smell that ozone, and hear those line switches splocking!

Lee

Hey Chris;
Since you're also a trolley fan, here's a link to the Baltimore Streetcar Museum that you can check out the next time you're down this way.

Thanks Chuck. May have to tag that on to a future York trip.
