Lonsdale Bleachery Trolley |
Description: |
Resistor block, and probably the only source of heat for the box cab. Its my second time in the old box cab. My grandfather knew the operator and had me in here for a ride when I was about 5 years old. We traveled from the large warehouse, thru the small yard, down over the Blackstone River and the New Haven interchange. |
