The Maine Trolley Cars are a group of 10 rail vehicles, mostly trolley cars, located in Kennebunkport, Maine. The cars were built in various years between 1893 and 1926, and the group was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 14, 1980.[2] The trolley cars are a small part of the large collection of vehicles at the Seashore Trolley Museum.
