I never knew how important the trolley system was in urban America. The short film and the many trolleys on display were impressive. Worth the trip.

If you're into vintage railroads and trolleys, this place isbfor you. Exit 185 of Interstate 81. Plenty of parking, be prepared to take lots of pictures and spend the day at Steamtown.
