She started her “tradition” in 1944 and in addition to the decorations, she would hand out candy canes to the children who rode with her. Here are a few pictures of Mrs. Kashner and her handiwork.

  • Just Visiting—Second New Jersey Pcc Car Finds Temporary Home at Museum
    WINTER (November-January) 2012 Volume 48 Number 4 JUST VISITING—SECOND NEW JERSEY PCC CAR FINDS TEMPORARY HOME AT MUSEUM NEW PARTNERSHIP BENEFITS OPEN CAR #1875 AS WELL AS HISTORIC PCC CAR By Matt Nawn Less than one year after former New Jersey Transit PCC Car #6 arrived at Rockhill Furnace to become part of the museum’s collection, a second former New Jersey Transit PCC Car arrived on January 27. This car, #10, is projected to be just a temporary visitor, however, unlike #6. The arrival of former NJT #10 at Rockhill Trolley Museum is part of a new partnership with UTCRAS approved this January by the Board of Directors. UTCRAS, located in Morton, PA, has provided support to the rail transit industry since 1982. UTCRAS is an AAR-Certified wheel, bearing, and axle shop and has performed high quality work for railroads, transit systems, and museums throughout North America. UTCRAS purchased NJT #10 for transfer to a future historic trolley operator at the same time our museum purchased #6, and has requested Rockhill Trolley Museum make the car #10 operational again in the same manner as was done with #6. We will also remove the trucks for overhaul by UTCRAS and subsequently retruck the car after the overhaul is completed. In exchange for our efforts, UTCRAS will perform an overhaul of the trucks from open car #1875 to include new bearings, axles, and replacement of wheels (supplied by Rockhill Trolley Museum). As UTCRAS is not a motor shop, we will still need to fund the overhaul of the four traction motors, but getting the mechanical work accomplished on these trucks will be a huge leap forward toward our efforts to maintain the car as a reliable operating exhibit for the long term.
