After nearly 40 years of being in production, the Vernon Sappers book about
the Key System trolley lines was finally published! I picked up a copy at
Powell's, read through it, and decided that a visit to a trolley museum was
in order. The Oregon Electric Railway was closed the weekend I tried to
visit, so I ended up going to the Western
Railway Museum instead. I had last been there some 15 years ago, back
when the museum was basically a loop of track and a few sheds. Now there
was an actual parking lot, visitor's center, and several big sheds for storage
and restoration of old trolleys. Needless to say, I took Dad's camera
and shot a few pictures.
