Train and Trolley Rides
Back in the golden age of ragtime music, the train and trolley were the most popular methods of travelling from one place to another. Experience what it was like to travel in those days by taking a ride on the East Broad Top Railroad's authentic steam train. A genuine early 20thcentury Baldwin steam locomotive pulls wooden coaches fabricated in the late 19th century through the rural Pennsylvania countryside. Your hour long trip to Colgate Grove on the East Broad Top can be followed by a ride on some of America's Historic trolleys at the Rockhill Trolley Museum, just across Meadow Street from the East Broad Top station. Train times are 11:00am, 1:00pm and 3:00pm. Trolley time is any time from 11:00am to 4:00pm.
