Phoenix Trolley Museum closes

As shown above, the Phoenix Trolley Museum (listed on the PNAERC list under its other name, the Arizona Street Railway Museum) has closed. It's not out of business but it has lost its lease at Deck Park on the north side of downtown Phoenix because the city is renovating that space. The museum has been planning to move its collection to a storage site about a mile away but it's unclear what the long-term plans are. The museum owns three electric cars: two 1920s American-built lightweight cars from Phoenix, one restored and one not, and a 250-volt industrial switcher from the Phelps-Dodge operation in Douglas. All three are now noted as "stored" rather than on display.
