The Trolley Station at Bayshore Park

The #26 streetcar brought thousands of Baltimoreans to Bayshore Park and provided a convenient way to travel, including chartered group outings. Many people spent their vacations trolleying, using trolley maps to plan trips on the Red Rocket. Each day the first Bayshore Park trolley left for Baltimore at 6:40 am, and the last trolley left the park at 11:15 pm. A trolley stopped at Howard and Franklin streets every hour, starting at 7:00 am, to take passengers to the park. From 1906-1942, round trip fare was 30 cents. The trolley station at Bayshore Park is 208 feet long, and many features of its design matched those of a streetcar, including having the same number of spaces between posts as there were windows on a trolley. The station was restored to its original design in 1997 by the Department of Natural Resources in-house staff.
