SERy Surface Division Seashore Trolley Museum proudly continues the legacy of its founders by maintaining and sharing our world-class transit collections and knowledge with you.

Founded in 1939, we have grown into the largest electric railway museum in the world. Seashore Trolley Museum's Bus Department is responsible for preserving, restoring, maintaining, and curating our 80+ bus and trolley bus collection, representing all decades from across the country and the world. The department is run by volunteers, and we are always looking for more to join our team!

Support the Seashore Trolley Museum Bus Department — Fund 970
Preserving the Past. Keeping Transportation History Alive. Inspiring Future Generations.
The Seashore Trolley Museum is dedicated to preserving the history of public transportation, and the Bus Department plays an important role in telling that story. Buses helped connect communities, carry generations of passengers, and shape the way people traveled. Today, it is our responsibility to preserve these historic vehicles so their stories can continue to be shared.
Our Mission
We are launching a fundraising campaign to support Bus Department Fund 970 at the Seashore Trolley Museum. Your contribution will help support the care, preservation, restoration, and continued appreciation of historic buses.
Preserving these vehicles takes dedication, time, resources, and financial support. From maintaining historic equipment to helping protect buses for future generations, every contribution can make a difference.
Why Your Support Matters
Your donation to Fund 970 can help support the ongoing work of the Bus Department, including:
• Preservation: Helping protect historic buses and their place in transportation history.
• Restoration: Supporting efforts to bring historic vehicles back to life when funding and project needs allow.
• Maintenance: Helping address the ongoing needs of caring for aging historic vehicles.
• Education: Keeping the stories of buses, their passengers, and the communities they served alive for future generations.
Every dollar raised brings us one step closer to preserving this important part of our transportation heritage.
Be Part of the Journey
Whether you are a longtime museum supporter, a bus enthusiast, a transportation history fan, a former transit employee, or someone who simply believes in preserving the past, we invite you to join us.
No donation is too small. Every gift is an investment in history and helps show that these remarkable vehicles are worth saving.
Please consider making a donation to the Seashore Trolley Museum Bus Department Fund 970. When contributing, be sure to designate your gift to Fund 970 so your support can be directed to the intended purpose.
Help Us Keep the Wheels Turning!
Historic buses are more than vehicles. They are reminders of our communities, our families, our working lives, and the journeys that helped shape our world.
With your help, we can continue preserving these pieces of history for today's visitors and tomorrow's generations.
Donate today. Share our campaign. Help preserve the legacy of America's buses!

Good morning, happy Sunday!

Here are a couple of pictures we took inside the Fairview Annex last Sunday morning. We raised the poles on Johnstown trackless trolley 713 to take the tension off of the springs while it is stored.

If you would like to help us out with the bus collection, you can do so by donating to the museum’s bus department (Fund #970) or if you prefer hands-on work we are always looking for more volunteers!!

Good morning, happy first Monday of October! 🎃

Bright and early on Saturday morning we wasted no time getting right to work on cleaning our 1987 VIP Charter Coaches Orion 1 bus. This bus had not been washed in several years and the roof had not been cleaned since the bus was still in active passenger service.

Now for the exciting part! One of our museum members is interested in getting the bus fixed up with plans to use it as a mobile museum shuttle bus for members, museum staff and volunteers to be able to attend community events without needing to rent a van!

This work is going to begin later this week, and we will be sure to keep this page updated with progress on the project. We are already in the process of getting a new set of batteries for it!

We have lots more to post from this weekend, keep following us for more! **These are the “BEFORE” pictures, we will be posting the “AFTER” shots this afternoon so you can compare the difference, it is quite something to see!

Good morning and happy Friday all!

Today we thought we would show you something a little different….a small sample of our beautiful streetcar/trolley collection! We took a peek inside the Highwood carbarn on Saturday afternoon to see the cars that were recently moved into this barn from the Riverside barn. These cars are all beautifully restored and in operating condition(although a few of them need minor repairs). Enlarge each image to see the captions, and please do enjoy the pictures!
