Molly Trolley
Our two trolleys are near replicas of the first horse powered, then electric
cars that serviced the Seacoast from 1897 to about 1927 before the big three
torpedoed mass transit around the country, with help. They are built by Molly
Trolley of Ogunquit, ME which is the only manufacturer of all aluminum trolleys
in the country(of eight). We ironically follow much of the original system, over
spurs and rails still buried below the tar in the area, never moved.
The rear of both are either open air or enclosed, depending on weather, to
give our clients a much better “up close” experience, be it a tour or event. Its
oak and brass are reflective of the understated elegance of a bygone era and
they NEVER run in the winter months, something you’ll appreciate when you
see them. We’ve been told by the company we’re the only ones left in America
on their original curtains, which are still in pretty good shape, x number of
years later, quite a compliment! Unlike the old trolleys limited by track, her
power plant is a Ford RV chassis, propane powered for a while, then switched
back to more easily serviceable gas.
We pride ourselves on taking care of them, so please consider Seacoast Trolley
while visiting the Seacoast for whatever you have in mind! Thanks.....
