Lowell, like many other cities in the country, formerly possessed an expansive network of trolleys, which served as the primary method of transit throughout the city. Trolley service in Lowell ended in 1935, and the last of the trolley trackage was removed during World War II. In 1978,
Lowell National Historical Park was established in order to preserve the image of the Industrial Revolution in Lowell. In 1984, the Park acquired one closed and two open trolleys, the former of which seats 48 passengers and the latter two of which seat up to 90 passengers. Because the original trolley trackage was removed, the trolleys run along the former
Boston and Maine Railroad tracks. ==Route==
