It is with great sadness that the museum announces the passing of long-time member and volunteer motorman Frank Rossano, who departed early this morning.
Over the course of more than two decades, Frank was an invaluable contributor to our team, delivering presentations, operating trolley cars, and serving as a museum ambassador. He also played a significant role in mentoring younger motormen, fostering a passion for the history and trolley era.
Additionally, Frank was an active advocate for rail safety through his involvement with Operation Lifesaver, presenting on behalf of the organization at the museum. He will be deeply missed, and our condolences are extended to the Rossano family.
