Brooklyn Trolley at Shoreline Trolley Museum         
Built in 1906 by The Laconia Car Company (Laconia , NH), this 43' long convertible trolley seats 44. It is seen at the Shore Line Trolley Museum , which was founded in 1945 as the Branford Electric Railway Association. The tracks are the Branford Electric Railway (the oldest operating suburban trolley line in the US ), a portion of the old "F" trolley route of the Connecticut Company. RR Pic Archives contributor Charles J Freericks is on the pilot of the car, for which the now LA Dodgers were named (at one time the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers).
