Overview

The Electric City Trolley Museum next to Steamtown celebrates Scranton as the first U.S. city with a successful electric streetcar system, with restored trolleys, railway artifacts, and interactive exhibits. Seasonal excursions run 5.5 miles on the historic Laurel Line through a mile-long tunnel, with views of Roaring Brook.
