Trolley Barn Traditional Cache
Legend Hunter: This one's had a good run. I think it's time to let it go, and maybe give another nearby cache a try.

Once, trolleys ran throughout Lock Haven. The trolley barn where they invariably ended up was on this spot.
Built in 1894 by the Complete Electric Construction Company of New Jersey, the barn was home of the Lock Haven Electric Railway Company, which ran the first electric street cars in town. After the trolleys were discontinued in 1930, the building was used by the Lock Haven Art Metal Company for manufacturing. One of the trolleys was placed on Main Street and made into a restaraunt, but was destroyed in the 1936 flood. Later, International Paper used the barn for a power plant and storage until 2000. After International Paper left Lock Haven, First Quality Products bought the property, and tore down the trolley barn in 2007.
One of the clocks from this barn is on display at the Heisey Museum.
Congratulations to Mountainfolk406 for the FTF!
