Spirit of 1776 Trolley Celebrates 250 Years | Pittsburgh News

Celebrate America’s 250th birthday with the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum’s dazzling new “Spirit of 1776” trolley — a patriotic red, white, and blue replica of a historic Pittsburgh trolley, restored by a crew of young volunteers. Though not running on tracks, it’s on display inside the museum, surrounded by 70s ads and live fife-and-drum music, offering a vivid trip back in time. The museum, a winner of best small-town museum, boasts over 50 vintage vehicles, including a Steelers-themed car, and even relocated a 1908 trolley station that once housed a post office and deli. Pittsburgh Regional Transit joined in, wrapping one of its light rail cars in matching colors for a year-long tribute — proving that public transit isn’t just about getting around, it’s part of our shared heritage.
