Electric City Trolley Museum

The Electric City Trolley Museum is located in downtown Scranton, Pennsylvania, adjacent to the Steamtown National Historic Site and operates restored trolleys an interurbans on former lines of the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley Railroad, now owned by Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, and operated by the Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad.

Recent activity

The 2006 Extension of the Electric City Trolley Museum line commenced operation July 14, 2006, as the first trolley heads past the Visitor's Center enroute to the stadium on Montage Mountain Road, Moosic, Pennsylvania, with Interstate 81 in the background.

For 2006, a new, 2,000-foot extension connects the county's trolley line from the Steamtown National Historic Site, Scranton, to a new station and trolley restoration facility, immediately adjacent to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons stadium off Montage Mountain Road, Moosic, Pennsylvania.

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.
