I found the museum staff, who are all volunteers to be friendly and helpful. The museum has something for everyone if you have any interest in rails. Worth the money.

I especially enjoyed taking a ride on one of the old trolleys. The museum filled with trolleys is also fun to see . . . took me back to my childhood when I actually rode the trolleys. Check out "events" too -- we went on a weekend when they also had a car cruise -- saw lots of old cars... More

This is a great way for kids to see how people in cities used to get around, not in cars, but in trolleys. They can ride to their hearts' delight, but it will be fun for the older folk, too.

What more could be asked for: a trolly ride on an old trolly, a sing-a-long, a visit from Santa, and a candy cane. We thought that it was done. Ahhhh, another trolly ride on a 50's trolly with Mr. Conductor. Our one grandson had the priviledge of closing the trolly door and then blow the horn. He was thrilled! We'll... More

Went here with family, including my 2 year old nephew who loves trains. It was pumpkin festival day, so we took the trolley to the exhibit room where he got to decorate a pumpkin. But you don't even need that, because he was much more interested in climbing into and exploring all the old trolleys in the museum. Great volunteers... More

Kids get to ride on trolleys, get in and check out old trolleys in the display barn and see video of trolleys. The train table in the gift shop was a ton of fun. There is a kids' size trolley that kids can play on inside the lobby with a bell to ring and levers to turn. Kids can use... More

A destination attraction. Nice selection of cars. Trackage follows that of an interurban line that ran from Pittsburgh. Nice intro video. Friendly people. We spent two hours and could have stayed longer. Kids will like the trolley ride
