ROCKHILL FURNACE, PA - There are several special events at the Rockhill Trolley Museum during October.

Children and their parents are invited to ride a real antique electric trolley while on their way to visit with Daniel Tiger in his living room on Saturday October 11. Daniel Tiger from WPSU will be visiting with all riders midway through the ride. Weather permitting, all riders to see Daniel Tiger will ride aboard an open summer trolley, like the Mr. Rogers Trolley.

Tickets to ride the Daniel Tiger Trolley are $10.00 for adults and $8.00 for each child. Tickets are also good for rides aboard the other trolleys operating that day.

Also that same weekend, it is a great time to visit the museum during the Fall Spectacular. Trolleys not normally operated will be in operation or on display.

The Liberty Liner, one of two such trains in the world, will be operating both Saturday and Sunday and Saturday evening

Trolleys from Johnstown, York, Philadelphia, Scranton, Brazil and Portugal will be available for scenic three-mile rides along the Blacklog Creek passing the Rockhill Iron Furnace remains to Blacklog Narrows. See other trolleys in the collection including a snowplow, snowsweepers, a freight motor and a Bullet trolley. See the 100-year-old interurban trolley undergoing restoration. Visit the museum store for trolley-related gifts. Snacks and drinks will be available at an additional cost.

Please check http://www.rockhilltrolley.org/events/fall_spectacular_2014 for information on the fares for the Fall Spectacular and our other special events in October, including Pumpkin Patch Trolley on October 18 & 19.

The Museum is located on PA 994 just west of the US 522 / SR 994 intersection at Rockhill Furnace/Orbisonia, PA, and 25 minutes north of the Fort Littleton turnpike exit. Signs along US 522 guide visitors to the adjacent East Broad Top Railroad. Maps, directions, and more information are available at our website www.RockhillTrolley.org or call 814-447-9576 (weekends).

The Rockhill Trolley Museum is Pennsylvania's First Operating Trolley Museum, founded in 1960 and operating for public education, enjoyment, and entertainment each season since 1962. The museum is a 501c3 all volunteer staffed museum. Interested visitors are invited to join the museum and volunteer to preserve old electric trolley cars for future generations to see and ride.
