Ever ride a real trolley car?
The ting-ting of the trolley bell, the growl of the gears, the ticka-ticka-ticka of the air compressor... Take a step back in time to when many American towns and cities offered inexpensive and convenient transportation using electric trolleys.
Our collection has nine operational trolleys, including Pennsylvania's only operating open car, high-speed interurban cars, fascinating maintenance-of-way cars like a huge snowplow and a 106-year-old snow sweeper, and a Philadelphia PCC. Plus you'll see more cars being restored in our shops by our talented volunteers.
You and your family can learn how about trolleys and how your parents and grandparents got around in America, while enjoying a leisurely ride through the scenic countryside.
What You'll Experience
York trolley 163 You might get to ride York Railways #163. Believe it or not, this now-beautiful car was a derelict hunting cabin when it was found. Restored to immaculate condition, it runs most operating days.
It is the only operating car to have survived from the York (PA) Railways.
On a hot summer day, choose to ride our open car. Car #1875 was built in Brazil to an American design.
The craftsmanship of the tropical-wood interior is bound to impress you. The residents of Rio knew how to travel in style! Rio trolley 1875
Steam train meets trolley Steam is an attraction at our museum, too! Trolley cars meet steam trains of the adjacent East Broad Top Railroad, allowing you to see and ride narrow gauge steam just a few feet away.
The friendly crew of Johnstown Traction Company #311 will welcome you aboard the car that started our museum, over 40 years ago.
Believe it or not, #311 has served us longer than it served its original owners! Johnstown trolley 311
These are just a sampling of the sights, sounds, and smells you'll experience visiting Rockhill Trolley Museum
