PROJECT GOALS

The ultimate goals of this restoration project would be to:

1. Restore Jamestown Street Railway Trolley Car #93 to its original operating condition and maintain it that way.

2. Build or provide a permanent home for it.

3. Develop a functional purpose for it within the community which would involve the actual operation of the car.

4. Create a sound financial base through which the trolley car can be perpetuated. This will be achieved through donations to the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation Trolley Fund.

Points to Ponder:

1. The planned City Riverwalk Project could somehow incorporate the trolley car use.

2. Some of the origninal JW&NW trolley car tracks are still in place on the east side of the Chadakoin River.

3. There is a building that could house the project near the tracks and the river, but it will need improvements.

4. There may be a place for it in the Erie Train Depot if current funding plans work out.
