I loved Fort Edmonton Park, one of the best livign history museums I have ever been to! Calgary Hertiage Park is a close second. Outside of Toronto there is a trolley/transit museum only, Halton County Radial Railway Museum. It is nicely done!

Then why would Railroad Museums specifically exclude them? A railway to me is everything on a flanged wheel. Also, what determines "Lack of prevalence". I have been to many trolley/tram/metro museums that I cannot waymark under the Railroad Museum category because of its restriction. Granted there are trolley museums that do cross over like Orange Empire and Illionis Railway Museum. Although both of those museum the main focus of their collections are really streetcars and interurbans. But I see that that on many Waymarking categoires that one location may have sereral different waymark categories published. I put a list below of the museums I have been to, or know about, and a few with a quick search under Trolley museum, Tram Museum, Metro/Subway museum. I know there are more if I spent more time. None of the ones listed below would qualify for the Railroad Museum category (there are tram museums that would qualify for railroad museums as noted above). I did not look for bus museums or more generic transport museums other then the ones I have been to. - Seashore Trolley Museum -> Maine - Connecticut Trolley Musem -> CT - Shoreline Trolley Museum -> CT - Trolley Museum of New York -> NY - New York Transit Musum -> NY - Penn. Trolley Museum -> PA - Western Railway Museum -> CA (They have thinned their collection of most of their mainline railroad equipment to focus on Interurbans and trolleys) - Halton County Radial Railway Museum -> Ont - Edmonton Radial Railway Museum - ALB - Rockhill Trolley Museum -> PA - Oregon Electric Railway Museum -> OR - Yakima Trolley Museum -> WA - Dresden Tranport Museum -> GER - Dresden Tram Museum -> GER - Vienna Tram Museum -> Austria - Prague Transport Museum -> Vienna - Tokyo Subway Museum -> Japan - Northern Ohio Railway Museum -> Ohio (only trolleys/interurbans) - London Transport Museum -> UK - National Tramway Museum -> UK - National Capital Trolley Museum -> MD - Baltimore Streetcar Museum -> MD - Phoenix Trolley Museum -> AZ - Fox River Trolley Museum -> IL - East Troy Trolley Museum -> WI - Electric City Trolley Museum -> PA - Fort Smith Trolley Museum -> AR - Charlotte Trolley Powerhouse Museum -> NC - Minnesota Streetcar Museum - MN - Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum - MA - Zurich Tram Museum -> Swiss - Sydney Tram Museum -> AUS - Brisbane Tram Museum -> AUS - Adelaide Tram Museum -> AUS - Brussels Tram Museum -> BEL - Helsinki Tram Museum -> FIN - Hannover Tram Museum -> GER - Stuttgart Tram Museum -> GER - Amsterdam Tram Museum -> NL - Munich Tram Museum -> GER - Wellington Tram Museum -> NZ - Ballarat Tram Museum -> AUS - Berlin U-Bahn Museum -> GER - Budapest Urban Transport Museum -> HUN - Glasgow Museum of Transport -> UK - Kiev Metro Museum -> UKR - Moscow Metro Museum -> RUS - Nagoya Tram & Metro Museum -> Japan - Yokohama Tram Museum -> Japan This is the reason why Waymarking remains fustrating to me, and even though I take a lot of photos of my travels and qualify to "visit" many waymarks I usually don't, and many wayamarks that I could add to existing categories that are missing, but I don't. Sorry for the small rant. Subwaymark Salem, OR

There is a category for railroad museums on Waymarking, but is specifically excludes museums for trolleys, subways etc. I propose a category for Urban Transit Museums. This would include museums that focus on urban transit meaning streetcars, trolleys, trams, subways, metros, urban busses. The vehicles maybe static display or operating. New listings should give admission prices, public rides or static display, what type of vehicles on display and/or operating, and any details about the museum. Logging requirement would be two photos, one with the name of the museum, and another a photo of a vehicle on display or operating, plsu a litle bit about the visit. Some examples of museums would be: New York Transit Museum in Brooklyn, NY; Oregon Electric Railway Museum in Brooks, OR; Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, CA, plus many more! Any thoughts? subwaymark Salem, OR

I ran 5 PQ's today, I got the 5 e-mails that each ran, but only one showed up on GC.com (although all 5 were bolded as having run). The only one that ran is showing usp is a new PQ I ran that came from a bookmark list. I really need they PQ for tomorrow, anyone know what is going on?

I had a travel bug this disappeared when the cache itself was muggled (in London). The cache owner even sent me a note apologizing for the loss. About 9 months later I decided to send out the copy tag with a new mission and sent it on its way. About a month later I get an email from the cache owner of the muggled cache. Apparently someone found the cache container somewhere else and returned it to the owner. My TB was still inside. They release my original TB. Thus I had a problem. The orginal TB was in the UK and the copy was in Wisconsin. This caused some confusion. Then a cacher in Wisconsin grabbed the copy asn asked me what to do. I asked them to mail me the copy TB to allow the original to continue. A week later I received the copy and attached a different TB tag and re-sent it. The original TB is still move, it is now in Kansas. Strange eh... Well this is the second time I've had a TB disappear with a muggled cache, but later the container was found (this time by a road crew no where near the cache site) with my TB still inside. subwaymark

I've been having the same issues with PQ, I also notice that new cache published e-mails are coming to my inbox 2~3 days later. Again its comcast. I guess I'm going to have to change my e-mail settings...
