The Jamestown Street Railway Trolley Car #93 marks its 100th birthday this year.
Put in service in 1926, it was one of the many street cars that serviced passengers somewhere within Erie County, NY, Erie County, PA, and Chautauqua County. It is arguably the last surviving stand-alone car remaining from these areas.
A group of volunteers has been working since 2014 to restore the trolley car, a project that is now nearing completion. While pretty much cosmetically restored, there is still some work to be done on the trucks (the four railroad type wheel assembly that supports the trolley on the rails), but that is waiting on the completion of its final display location. Plans for a display building in conjunction with the Fenton History Center are moving forward , while fundraising for the project continues toward providing all that is necessary to ensure that this last remaining piece of Chautauqua County streetcar history is preserved.
Project Volunteer Bob Johnston will talk about this important piece of Chautauqua County history and provide more information on its status and plans to celebrate its 100th birthday.
