Thurmont Trolley Final Run Marks Nostalgic Day
The last interurban passenger trolley in Maryland from Frederick to Thurmont will end Saturday. About 60 commuters will ride the final day as the Blue Ridge Bus Company takes over passenger service while freight tracks stay for PE use. The 17 mile line dates to 1886 and electrification in 1909, linking communities and memories across Frederick, Thurmont, and beyond.
