We're open today!

While many schools and other places in our community are still without power following last night's storms, our museum has power and will be open today during our regular hours of 10 AM - 4 PM. If you're looking for a place to spend some time today, come on by for a visit! Beat the heat, experience some history, and enjoy trolley rides all day long.

: To August 1998, when several PCCs were still operating as part of Pittsburgh’s public transit fleet!

This photograph shows Port Authority of Allegheny County car No. 4009 heading west towards the Drake Loop.

By that point in time, there were very few PCCs remaining in local service; and their operations were very limited due to various trackage and overhead updates throughout the city of Pittsburgh.

On September 4, 1999 - about a year after this photograph was taken - these cars made their final runs in passenger service. They were then donated to trolley museums like ours. Today, visitors can still ride 4009’s sister car (4004) at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum.

The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum once again operated our annual Park ‘N’ Ride services during the 2026 Washington County Fair earlier this month!

Riders could park at one of three parking lots, hop aboard the trolley, and enjoy a relaxing ride to the Fair. Any tickets purchased during the Fair also included admission to the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum, thanks to M&T Bank's support and sponsorship.

Thank you to all of our riders and visitors this year, as well as to all the staff and volunteers who make this annual service possible!

: Pittsburgh Railways Co. 1711 became the last streetcar to carry regular passengers from Washington to Pittsburgh early on the morning of August 30, 1953.

This historical connection between 1711 and Washington is actually the reason we chose to preserve this car. 1711 didn’t come to our museum right away, however. It was retired from active service in August 1988, and acquired from Port Authority Transit in April 1990.

Today, 73 years later, car 1711 regularly runs “in service” through Washington once again at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum!
