SUMMARY:Trolleyology: Cemetery Transit: A History of Death Riding the Rails
DESCRIPTION:Join PTM staff\, volunteers\, and members for our Zoom series\, Trolleyology! These programs feature Pennsylvania transit history topics and tales of our collection that you can experience from home. Registration is required but free of charge. Donations are welcome and encouraged.\n  \nCemetery Transit: A History of Death Riding the Rails\n10/10/2023 – 7 PM ET – Presented by Allison C. Meier \n\nREGISTER HERE \n  \nTransportation and the cemetery have been linked for centuries\, from 19th-century ferries carrying the dead in New York City to early 20th-century funerary street cars in Mexico City. Every city had to find a way to move its departed citizens to their final stop\, such as Pittsburgh’s Citizens Passenger Railway Horsecar\, which in 1859 established a route between Fifth Avenue and a cemetery. This online talk led by Allison Meier\, the author of Grave (Bloomsbury\, 2023) and a cemetery tour guide\, will chronicle these surprising connections between the dead and transit both in the United States and around the world\, including a look at some historic curios like the London Necropolis Railway and presidential funeral trains. \n  \nThis program will be recorded and available at a later date on the PTM YouTube channel. \n  \nTrolleyology presentations will continue on a regular or semi-regular basis. Interested in presenting? Email assistant@patrolley.org! We’re specifically looking for programs related to the Trolley Era in general\, Pennsylvania transit history\, or stories about our collection. Please join our e-mail list to stay up-to-date with program announcements and other PTM news! \n*For the best experience\, we recommend downloading Zoom in advance. \nNOTE: This is a virtual event

SUMMARY:Trolleyology: Beaver Valley Traction
DESCRIPTION:Join PTM staff\, volunteers\, and members for our Zoom series\, Trolleyology! These programs feature Pennsylvania transit history topics and tales of our collection that you can experience from home. Registration is required but free of charge. Donations are welcome and encouraged. \n  \nBeaver Valley Traction\n2/20/2024 – 7 PM ET – Presented by George Gula \n\nREGISTER HERE \n  \nThe first horsecars of the Beaver Valley Street Railway Company began running on July 4\, 1885. Electric streetcar service started on December 5\, 1891. Eventually\, a number of companies would be created and merged into the Beaver Valley Traction Company which connected Morado Park\, Beaver Falls\, Beaver\, Rochester\, Freedom and Aliquippa\, ending at the Edgeworth Borough line.  The Philadelphia Company\, which also owned Pittsburgh Railways\, purchased the BVT and unsuccessfully attempted to link the two properties after being stymied by Sewickley and Edgeworth Boroughs. After it was turned loose on its own\, the line experienced ever worsening circumstances.  The last car ran on August 10\, 1937. This program will show the rise and fall of the streetcar in Beaver County from 1885 to 1937.     \n  \nThis program will be recorded and available at a later date on the PTM YouTube channel. \n  \nTrolleyology presentations will continue on a regular or semi-regular basis.

SUMMARY:Trolleyology: Toronto Streetcars: Past\, Present\, and Future
DESCRIPTION:Join PTM staff\, volunteers\, and members for our Zoom series\, Trolleyology! These programs feature Pennsylvania transit history topics and tales of our collection that you can experience from home. Registration is required but free of charge. Donations are welcome and encouraged. \n  \nToronto Streetcars: Past\, Present\, and Future\n3/20/2024 – 7 PM ET – Presented by Brian Doucet \n\nREGISTER HERE \n  \nToronto has North America’s largest streetcar network. Its 10 routes carry around 200\,000 daily riders\, and they are a ubiquitous sight throughout much of the city. This presentation will trace the early history of transit in Toronto\, including the municipalisation of the streetcar system in 1921. Toronto had the largest fleet of new and used PCCs in North America. Though the network contracted after World War II\, this was predominantly due to subway expansion\, rather than bus replacement. The system was saved in 1972 in large part due to a small group of dedicated activists\, leading to the development of new generation of streetcars and new lines. Today’s system features a mix of new\, low-floor LRVs and legacy operating practices which means that Toronto’s streetcars\, while iconic\, are a slow way of getting around the city. Across southern Ontario\, light rail is expanding as a new wave of transit investment is shaping development in one of North America’s fastest growing urban regions. \nThroughout this presentation\, we will weave the story of the streetcars with one of an ascendant city which transitioned from a modest\, predominantly British and provincial city\, to Canada’s leading metropolis\, its global mega-region and one of the world’s most multicultural cities. This presentation will feature many images taken by the late John F Bromley\, a Toronto- based streetcar enthusiast who travelled extensively to photograph trams and trolleys between the 1960s and 2019. As a bonus\, we will end with some of his Pittsburgh images from the mid-1960s! \n  \nDr. Brian Doucet is a Canada Research Chair and Associate Professor in the School of Planning at the University of Waterloo. His academic research focuses on processes of neighbourhood change\, such as gentrification\, as well as mobility and transportation. He has a lifelong interest in streetcars and urban transportation\, and is the co-author (with his father\, Michael) of the book Streetcars and the Shifting Geographies of Toronto: a visual analysis of change (2022\, University of Toronto Press). Born and raised in Toronto\, Brian lived in the Netherlands between 2004 – 2017. He now resides in Kitchener\, Ontario. \n  \nThis program will be recorded and available at a later date on the PTM YouTube channel. \n  \nTrolleyology presentations will continue on a regular or semi-regular basis. Interested in presenting? Email Kristen at kfred@patrolley.org! We’re specifically looking for programs related to the Trolley Era in general\, Pennsylvania transit history\, or stories about our collection. Please join our e-mail list to stay up-to-date with program announcements and other PTM news! \n*For the best experience\, we recommend downloading Zoom in advance. \nNOTE: This is a virtual event
