It's been six months since good ol' streetcar #116 was moved from @PorterBarnWood to our @HistoricGrand1 location. 🌟We're so thankful to C&M Rigging of Phoenix, E-Z Towing & Recovery of Avondale, and the Union Pacific Foundation for making the move happen! ❤️

We have big plans for 2022 Our next big push at the Phoenix Trolley Museum will be to bring Car 116 out of storage and put it back on public display. A big thank-you to all of our supporters, donors, and volunteers that have gotten us this far. We can’t do it without you!
