Posted by Larry,RedbirdR33 on Thu May 21 07:01:30 2015 Tuscarora Almanac - May 21, 1967 - The Book of HomecomingsThird Avenue Railways System trolley car # 629 finally returned to New York today after taking a sixteen year detour to Vienna, Austria, where she was known as # 4239. The car was on display on top of a flatbed trailer in Central Park. She had served on the Third Avenue Railway System from 1939 to 1949 and then was shipped to Vienna. She returns today to go to a new home at the Shoreline Trolley Museum in East Haven, Connecticut. To the best of my knowledge she is still active at Shoreline where she is an integral part of the operating fleet. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

We were in the city that same day (it was a Sunday). We took an AA from 42nd to 81st for a return visit to the Museum of Natural History while my father wen to visit his elderly cousin in Brooklyn. Naturally, he took the subway and when I quizzed him about it later, he remarked that his train sat for quite a while near the Manhattan Bridge. |

Steve, please contact me OFF-LIST. I'm going to be in Denver in June.AFAIK, 629 is one of the usual cars to operate at Shore Line these days. Or at least it was, the last time I was there last October. |

There's a couple of the ex-TARS 600 series cars in Mariazell Austria, currently under restoration. At least two (and as many as four!) are designated to be running on a railroad station to tourist destination lines in TARS colors. I last heard from them a few years ago, but I will check in with them again. |
