TARS 678 Seat Covers

One of the streetcars you can explore in the virtual Trolley Museum tour we launched last week is 1939-built Third Avenue Railway System (TARS) 678. This car is one of the most unique in our collection, so returning the car to service after the museum reopens was a priority. However the authentic rattan seats are not particularly compatible with pandemic-necessitated disinfectant. So, with the financial assistance of a local county grant, cleanable vinyl covers were obtained and installed, as seen here, to ensure this car can remain in service throughout the pandemic.
We still have no estimated date of reopening. However when the time does come, we are ready to welcome you back for a safe and enjoyable experience.
