国家交通博物馆 (英語:The National Museum of Transportation) is a private, 42-acre 交通博物馆 in the Kirkwood suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. Founded in 1944,[1] it restores, preserves, and displays a wide variety of vehicles spanning 15 decades of American history: cars, boats, aircraft, and in particular, locomotives and railroad equipment from around the United States. The museum is also home to a research library of transportation-related memorabilia and documents.

At the southwest corner of the property is West Barretts Tunnel. Built in 1853, it is one of a pair of tunnels that were the first to operate west of the Mississippi River.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

The museum has its own railway spur to an active main line formerly owned by the Missouri Pacific Railroad, now by the Union Pacific Railroad. This has allowed the museum to take possession of large and unusual pieces of railroad equipment. A miniature railroad operates around a loop of track near the parking lot and a full-sized restored trolley operates Thursday–Sunday from April through October.

电车环线

[编辑]

尼尔·F·诺卡提斯示范有轨电车线路(英语:The Neil F. Norkaitis Demonstration Trolley Line)最初于20世纪90年代建立。在博物馆从旧金山城市铁路(San Francisco Municipal Railway)获得 SLPS #1743 之后,一支志愿者团队在阿博特大楼(Abbott Building)附近的原联合太平洋铁路(Union Pacific)轨道上方架设了约 1,000 英尺的接触网,使得修复后的历史有轨电车能够投入运行。1998 年,博物馆有轨电车志愿者组织(MTTV)对 PTC #2740 进行了全面修复,并将其纳入运营车队,而 #1743 则被封存。

1997 年,MTTV 开始翻新 Water Works #10。尽管最初仅计划进行外观修复,但由于该车在搁置数十年后仍保持了较为完好的状态,团队最终决定对 #10 进行全面的运营级修复。经过三年半的工作,#10 再度投入使用。2001 年的阵亡将士纪念日(Memorial Day)期间,#10 在停驶 46 年后首次投入运行,并于 2002 年夏季正式加入 MTTV 的运营车队。

该示范有轨电车线路起初为单一路段,所有车辆只能往返行驶。随后,MTTV 从波士顿一条有轨电车环线处获取了部分轨道材料,决定在线路东端增设一个环线。施工于 2002 年春启动,并于 2003 年 3 月完工。自此,除 #2740 之外的所有车辆均可在环线上循环行驶,并原路返回。与此同时,志愿者在罗伯茨馆(Roberts Pavilion)前修建了一座高站台,以便新加入的芝加哥捷运(CTA)快速轨道交通车辆 #44 上下乘客。

2011 年,MTTV 着手推进轨道延伸项目,旨在将线路延伸至 Lindburg 汽车中心。截至 2025 年,该延伸段仍在建设中;工程完工后,游客可乘坐有轨电车往返于罗伯茨大楼与汽车大楼之间。2016 年 5 月 21 日,为纪念圣路易斯(St. Louis)有轨电车运营终止 50 周年,长期封存的 SLPS #1743 再次恢复运行。2024 年,为纪念前有轨电车运营总监,该线路被正式命名为尼尔·F·诺卡提斯示范有轨电车线路。
