Trolley's?

This was one of my favorite articles I wrote while interning for the York County Coast Star. When I first received the assignment I was not extremely enthusiastic about driving another long hour and a half away to go to a Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport Maine. But as it turns out it was one of the most interesting places I explored during my 3 month long internship. It was a cold day right after Thanksgiving break and the clouds had inhabited the sky making me more tired that usual. When I arrived my GPS was "re-calculating" to the point where I shut the damn thing off. The museum was shut down for the season, but I was heading back to the restoration building to learn about a particular trolley that had recently been towed into the shop to begin its "make-over". As I followed the dirt road into the back of museum grounds I felt as if I was entering the twilight zone. It was filled with old trains, trolley's, two story buses, old cars and so much more, and to top it off there were no humans in sight. Now when I made it to the restoration shop, the only reassurance I had that there was going to be human life within its wall was the presence of a few up-to-date cars outside. When I entered the large warehouse filled with machinery that I had no knowledge of and parts stacked to the ceiling for the trolley's restoration needs. I was then greeted by Douglas, the restoration shop owner, who spent over an hour and a half with me showing me, with pride and knowledge, everything he could possibly share about trolley's and most importantly the Lexington Trolley. He also showed me a trolley that ran through my home town of Londonderry N.H., in the early 1900's. Well enjoy the story, and remember sometimes you discover interesting things in what doesn't seem like a very interesting place.
