Trolley #1601 is a 15-bench, open-style trolley, and represents the beginning of Gomaco Trolley Company. This car, and a second car #1602, were constructed for the Lowell National Historical Park in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1984, and are authentic reproductions of the 1597-1600 series cars manufactured by J.G. Brill Company. A third enclosed car, #4131, joined the open-style cars in 1987.

"Holiday in the National Parks” was chosen as the theme for the 2007 White House Christmas tree, and its goal was to highlight the majesty, history, and diversity of the country’s 391 national parks. Lowell National Historical Park employee Ellen Frost designed and created the park’s holiday ornament, which was on display in the Blue Room in the White House. Frost worked with the park staff to select the appropriate imagery for the six-inch plastic ball. Using acrylic paints, she created two images of Lowell, with the trolley park on one side and Pawtucket Falls on the other side.
