in recognition of the founders of the 20th Century Electric Railway Foundation, their financial support being critical in our acquisition of the new facility. Staff are in the process of establishing a vocational training program that will provide local high school auto shop students experience in working on large commercial vehicles and diesel engines. Current fundraising activities include a tax-deductible vehicle donation program and consignment antique automobile sales. All funds go to Old Pueblo Trolley's restoration and educational programs. In 2017, the facility gained the services of a qualified electrician / machinist volunteer who set up a combined machine and fabricating area using donated machine tools. Along with supplying valuable service to museum's restoration needs, the machine shop does outside work with all of the proceeds going to support museum operations. More capabilities were added with the generous donation of sheet metal shop machines in late Fall 2019. The museum lost their long-term storage depot in mid-town Tucson and, during the summer of 2019, moved a number of buses, trolleys and storage into their large back lot on 36th. Along with this consolidation, the trolley barn on E. 8th was repurposed and the trolley restoration shop was also moved to the 36th St. barn.
