East Troy Electric Railroad Museum ran a trolley parade in celebration of 100 years of the existence of their railroad, with one trolley scheduled to depart the museum in East Troy every 15 minutes. However, they quickly found out that the line doesn't have quite enough power to run two trains at once! So each trolley was delayed a little more each time. Nonetheless, it was a really cool look into the history of electric interurban railroading, on the last operating piece of the once-vast The Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Company system. Other parts of TMERL still exist, though usually as power line corridors and/or bike trails, such as the Franklin and Muskego Trails.
