Phoenix Trolley Museum

HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED along the Second Street line from 1922 to 2026 - 104 years! We will be tracing the streetcar route on bikes THIS SATURDAY MORNING (3/21). We may be in a heat wave, but starting at 9 AM, temps will still be in the 80s. There is still plenty of room to join us. Register today to attend PEDAL TO THE PAST Streetcar Bike Ride - event details at https://www.facebook.com/events/1668620604323709

John, a friend from Texas who has been deeply involved in operating transportation systems there and is also a trolley enthusiast, took an original component from Streetcar #504 to replicate it so we can begin restoring that portion of the car. Here is the replicated piece at his workshop.

🚋 Phoenix Trolley Museum Annual Meeting — Saturday, March 7

Ninety-two years ago, crowds gathered in Phoenix to see what happened when “a truck tangled with a tram.” The truck drove away. The streetcar… not so much.

Good news: our annual meeting in Streetcar #116 promises far less excitement of the crash variety.

Instead, you’ll hear about the Phoenix Trolley Museum’s big plans for the future, learn how our historic streetcars are coming along, and maybe even decide to climb aboard as a volunteer.

Details:
📅 Saturday, March 7, 10 a.m.
📍 Inside historic Streetcar #116, 1117 Grand Avenue, Phoenix
🍩 Donuts and coffee served (no tow trucks expected)

Unlike the spectators in 1934, you won’t be coming to see a wreck — you’ll be coming to help build something. All aboard!
