150 Years of Pittsburgh Transit Celebrated

The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum in Washington, PA will host an all-weekend event commemorating the 150th anniversary of Pittsburgh’s first horse car line. Featured will be the city’s only preserved 1870s horse car, a 1911 streetcar and a 2005 hybrid Port Authority bus, all of which ran (or run) along the same Frankstown passenger line. The museum will conduct tours every hour on an antique streetcar, running four miles around a set track. Regular museum exhibitions will be available all weekend. On Sunday, the museum will have a reservations-only brunch and an event called Family Sunday, where local genealogical experts will tell attendees how best to trace their roots.
