A Non-Profit Educational Corporation
The Electric City Trolley Museum Association is a volunteer non-profit group that supports the activities of the Electric City Trolley Museum in downtown Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA, at the Steamtown National Historic Site. The association is an outgrowth of predecessor preservation groups including Buckingham Valley Trolley Association and East Penn Valley Traction, which conveyed to the museum most of the trolleys and artifacts in its historic collection. Association members support the Electric City Trolley Museum with their time, talent, trolley expertise and contributions. We welcome anyone sharing our interest in electric railways of eastern Pennsylvania to find out more about the Electric City Trolley Museum Association through this web site, and to consider joining or supporting our activities by becoming a member.
These special Ballpark trips will leave from Cedar Avenue & Laurel Line Drive and return after the game. Parking is available along Laurel Line Drive. Please do not park at Steamtown as it closes at 5:00 PM. All ticket sales are through the museum. Please call the Museum at (570) 963-6590 for futher information and the necessary reservations.
Laurel Line - An Anthracite Region Railway by James N.J. Henwood and John G. Muncie
-published by Tribute Books-214pp.
New Second Edition with improved photo reproduction.
Based on the survival of the Laurel Line's corporate records, authors Henwood and Muncie make the most out of this
historical treasure. In the book, the railway emerges in human terms of strife, struggle, victory and defeat. The
reader learns not only what happened, but why, and who made it happen. All railroads and interurban railways are
interesting if properly researched - the Laurel Line as portrayed in this work is profoundly interesting. Many classic
photographs from Edward S. Miller and other rail photographers illustrate the story. Reproductions of maps, car plans and
other memorabilia are also presented.
Softcover $39.95
To order call the Museum at (570) 963-6590.
Official opening was Friday, July 14, 2006.
