Information About

Issaquah Valley Trolley




After returning the borrowed trolley to Yakima, Issaquah acquired three trolleys of its own: a Milan interurban car, and two Narrow Gauge trolleys from a failed trolley line in Aspen, Colorado . Currently, none are operating, as they all require restoration work before they can begin service. However, the museum does have an operational 0-4-0 Plymouth gasoline-mechanical Locomotive . The two narrow gauge trolleys are to be "re-gauged" so that they can run on Standard Gauge railroad track. The trolleys will tow a generator car to supply them with electricity, rather than receiving power from overhead wires called Catenary . The group hopes to rebuild about a mile of recently removed track on the Lake Sammamish rail-trail, as far as the boat-launch.
