The Shores of Essex Resource Corporation has launched the first cross-county tour of "A Trolley Named Desire," a bus modified to look like a trolley that runs on a blend of soy and diesel fuel and can carry up to 45 passengers.  Each week the "trolley" will pick up riders from the Windsor Crossing shopping centre and take them to county wineries and other sites of agricultural interest.  The $20 ticket price does not include lunch, but riders are able to taste local fare at various stops at affordable reasonable prices. 

This trolley project is intended to boost the area's "agri-tourism" and raise awareness of the diversity of food being produced here.  After attending the tour launch, Essex County Warden Nelson Santos said "I think once you start telling people we actually have thirteen wineries in Essex County, their eyes open."

Trolley conductor, Nathan Bridges researched his role and takes his job seriously.  HE learned that the last trolley in Windsor was taken out of service in 1939 and says, "I'm probably the first trolley conductor in Windsor since 1939."

The bus-trolley has low back seats, large picturesque windows, on-board air conditioners and heaters to ensure that tour riders can njoy their experience year-round.  To learn more about the trolley tours, visit www.wetrolley.com.
