On 06/17/2013, we visited Rockhill Furnace Trolley Museum in Rockhill Furance, PA, Fort Shirley Marker in Shirleysburg PA, and Fort Lyttelton Marker in Littelton, PA. Have you ever ridden a real trolley car and heard the ting-ting of the trolley bell, the growl of the gears, and the ticka-ticka-ticka of the air compressor? Visitors to the Rockhill Furnace Trolley Museum take a step back in time, to when many American towns and cities offered inexpensive and convenient transportation using electric trolleys. Our collection has several operational trolleys, including an open car, high-speed interurban cars, fascinating maintenance-of-way cars, and two PCC Cars, and our talented volunteers are always working on restoring more cars in our shops. While enjoying a leisurely ride through the scenic countryside, you and your family can learn about trolleys and how generations of Americans before ours got around.
