Back in the day, summer always meant that my father would bring my brother and me\u00a0to one of the New England Trolley museums. Back then we\u2019d ride back and forth and Pop would read the Sunday newspaper.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d make photos with my Leica.<\/p>\n

This year for Father\u2019s Day, I brought Pop to Connecticut\u2019s Shore Line Trolley Museum<\/a> located near East Haven, Connecticut. We used to know this as the Branford Trolley Museum (it is operated by the Branford Electric Railway Association).<\/p>\n

Pat Yough, visiting from Pennsylvania, joined us and we all made photos. Turns out that fathers are admitted free of charge on Father\u2019s Day. So that was a bonus.<\/p>\n

Pop used his vintage Rolleiflex, which prompted a comment from the motorman,<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re still using film?\u201d<\/p>\n

Pop responded, \u201cSure, and you\u2019re still running a trolley. Today is my \u2018retro day\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n

They even had an old IRT Subway car on the move. (Pop said, \u201cthese aren\u2019t \u2018old\u2019, I remember when they were new!\u201d).<\/p>\n
