MAY 6, 2023 — Derek Carter will present “Vintage Trolleys of Lisbon and Hiroshima”, featuring photos he took on trips in 2001 and 2005. Lisbon continues to operate several dozen 2-axle trolleys originally built in the 1930s. Meanwhile, the Hiroshima Electric Railway is known as “The Moving Streetcar Museum” for its eclectic collection of historic trolleys acquired from all over Japan and still running in regular service.
