the Brooklyn Trolley Group is looking to build a pre-1918 trolley fleet and are researching sources to either purchase or lease any NYC vintage cars. Either single truck (Brill 21E) or double truck cars.

Trolley cars were the basic public transportation in Brooklyn for much of the last century. Indeed, the Brooklyn Dodgers were originally the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers, so named for Brooklynites leaping aside from oncoming trolley cars. (I didn't know that!)

The first urban light rail system began operations in New York City in 1832—two years before Brooklyn was incorporated into a city itself—as a small, boxy car pulled by horses over rails embedded in the street.
