Every rail tells a story, and every bolt turned helps keep history alive. Step onto the Track Crew this September and experience the satisfaction of working side by side to preserve the foundation that makes trolley rides possible. Together, we’ll ensure the past keeps moving into the future. On Friday, September 20, and Saturday, September 21, we’ll be replacing ties along Winkler Road to Hancock Siding. No prior experience is needed; just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to pitch in. If you are curious to learn how track work is done, looking for a unique way to support the museum, or want to enjoy a day outdoors with good company, we would love to see you!
Dates: September 20 & 21
Time: 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM (come for all or part of the day)
Location: CT Trolley Museum

What to Expect:
Track work is active, outdoor work that may involve walking on uneven ground, bending, kneeling, and carrying materials. Volunteers should be comfortable lifting up to 20 pounds. Be sure to wear attire appropriate for outdoor work: closed toed shoes, gloves, clothing that can get dirty. We will provide hard hats, vests, safety goggles. Safety is always our top priority, and training will be provided on site. Keep an Eye Out: Coming weekends in October, we will continue down the line after Station 6A (our Pumpkin Patch Station). If you’d like to be part of the October project, please let Tyler know.

The Track Crew is one of the most hands-on, rewarding teams at the museum, and there’s nothing like the satisfaction of seeing trolleys run smoothly over track you helped maintain.
We hope to see you there—your helping hands keep history moving forward.
On behalf of the Track Department,
