Electric City Trolley Museum
- Electric City Trolley Museum
The Electric City Trolley Museum is located in downtown Scranton, Pennsylvania, adjacent to the Steamtown National Historic Site.
It displays and operates restored trolleys and interurbans on former lines of the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley Railroad, now owned by the government of Lackawanna County and operated by the Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad.
Recent activity
In 2006, a 2,000-foot extension connecting the county's trolley line from the Steamtown National Historic Site, Scranton, to a new station and trolley restoration facility, immediately adjacent to PNC Field, Moosic, Pennsylvania, was opened.
The new tracks and trolley barn are part of a $2 million project financed by capital funds from the county and the state. The barn has space for up to nine trolleys, allowing the county museum to spend more time working to bring defunct cars back to running order. It has a gallery where visitors can observe the process.
