Hello! I'm coming in for the big event this Saturday and had one quick question: On the Showcase event page it says the Shay will be on a caboose train Sunday only, while the individual equipment lineups for each day show it running both days. Is the 5 running Saturday? Thanks in advance!

Exciting news about your new pit! We at Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum are planning a pit in our Car Barn extension project. Any information that you could pass on about what regulations, etc. you had to comply with to get your pit approved would be helpful to us. Our local building inspector thinks pits are illegal.

August was a long time ago; how about an update on the pit project? Are the rails in place yet? Ted Miles, IRM Member

An update will be coming soon. But yes, the rails have gone in--we are still working on connecting them to the outside world though.
