The Seashore Trolley Museum is the principal activity of the New England Electric Railway Historical Society, a non-profit educational foundation. The museum was founded in 1939 as the Seashore Electric Railway to save Biddeford and Saco open trolley #31 from destruction.

'Golden Chariot' (Montreal)
'A Streetcar Named Desire' (New Orleans)
The beautiful 'Liberty Bell Limited'

and many others from Berlin, Boston, Budapest, Chicago, Dallas, Glasgow, Nagasaki, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Sydney, Rome and other cities from around the world.
