Bisbee Trolley and the cookies

(history)

The trolley must return!


 

The Bisbee Trolley Project

Interestingly, the Bisbee Trolley Project never really worked as a tool to
bring back the Trolley, but the idea did catch on and there is a Bisbee Trolley Tour now.   I love to watch it move up and down the canyon.  It is beautiful in it's own way.

The trolley as of 4/2007:
When you seel of your "dot com" you can say it's ended!
the www below was orginal for the Bisbee Trolley, which was a tour ride,
WWW.Bisbeetrolley.Com
I have not seen the tour aroun d lately so I guess it is just another Bisbee bygone
(dated from about 2000 to 2006).

The rest of this page is history of the idea, and I hope it will add to the trolley concept.


1998 or so;

The Trolley Project is trying to bring back a trolley like mode of transportation to Bisbee.
Decorated ginger cookies (as shown to the side of this page)
are being sold at a suggested donation price of $1 each.

Cookies are being sold in front of the Old Bisbee post office on some weekends
and at many Bisbee activities,
such as, the Fiber Arts Festival, the Bisbee Stair Climb,
and recycling day at the Bisbee Co-op.


More cookie information
The cookie cutters in the shape of an old-fashioned trolley
were designed and made by Ben Dale, local metal worker and artist.
The ginger cookies are being decorated with white frosting by members
of Lydia Ashmond's home economics class at Bisbee High School.

The Chairperson for the project is Yvonne Grimm.
The trolley will be fabricated on a bus chassis,
so that restoration cost for the old tracks and cables will not be a problem.

It will operate at a reasonable price, and help solve some of Bisbee's parking problems.
The route would reach from upper Tombstone Canyon to downtown Bisbee
and Brewery Gulch then round the pit to Lowell, where it would loop back again.
The trolley would run seven days a week,
including late routes until 9 pm on weekends and special occasions.
