MR CONDUCTOR's YULETIDE "T" SHUTTLE RIDES THE RAILS "2" MORE WEEKENDS

Take a unique ride aboard a colorfully decorated 1930 electric trolley car to the South Pole w/"MR CONDUCTOR" (Bryant Schmude). The Yuletide Shuttle is laced with colorful tinsel, Christmas balloons and inside--singing puppets and entertainment. The "T" car was decorated on Thanksgiving Day by Schmude who--as "MR CONDUCTOR" both entertains and educates young people and the young at heart. The Yuletide Shuttle travels a trackway which dates back to 1903 as the hi-speed line between Pittsburgh, Cannonsburg and Washington, PA. "MR CONDUCTOR" promises that all who travel on his Yuletide "T" will actually go to--the South Pole. Here the riders are treated to a tune on his Prussian Banjo or other bits of Holiday Cheer. Every trip of The Yuletide Shuttle "meets" a 1926 "T" car to the North Pole which is joined by Santa. Both trolleys meet to exchange riders at the railway's Richfol Junction. Hot chocolate is served at the terminal and there is a wonderful Lionel Toy Train Layout to check out too.Call 724-228-9656 or 1-877-PA-TROLLEY for more about MR CONDUCTOR's YULETIDE SHUTTLE to the South Pole. "MR CONDUCTOR" is no stranger to Cranberry Township. Years ago, he--as a small child--often spent summers at the farm of his Aunt Dorothy & Uncle John Gardner who lived on a large farm along Hope Road. The old farm house is still there. Skirting near the farm property, was the trall where once THE HARMONY ROUTE trolleys ran between Pittsburgh, Evans City, Butler and/or New Castle. That high speed system has remained a special favorite of Schmude who has written articles about the "T" line.For more about that--see Bryant Schmude at the PA TROLLEY...
