65

Car 65 was the museum's first trolley. It ran for approximately a dozen years starting in the 1980s before the roof condition caused it to be removed from service. It was stored then displayed in the Visitors' Center. The car was repaired starting in the summer of 2018 and it ran for public service for the first time since 1997 during Winterfest 2019. The car joins the fleet as an emergency reserve. It is destined to receive full restoration in the future.
