A piece of Jersey Shore history is looking for a fresh new facelift. A plan is in the works to replace the iconic tram car fleet on the Wildwoods boardwalk."Watch the tram car please" bellowing through a crackly speaker is the unmistakable sound of the classic canary yellow passenger train that’s been running the span of the two-and-a-half-mile boardwalk since 1949."It is iconic. It is the boardwalk" said one man walking the boardwalk with his dog Friday afternoon.
"We are retiring about five of these passenger trailers this summer," Rosenello stated. The money from the $5 one-way fare goes to fund the operation and maintenance. But, a capital investment is needed to buy newer equipment to replace cars that are no longer in use.Some of the tram cars have been in operation since they debuted at the New York World’s Fair in 1939. They came to the Wildwoods 10 years later and have since transported millions of people over the years.
