Posted on by 487

Rockhill Trolley Museum invites you to join us for Johnstown Car Day on June 7, 2025, to commemorate the 65th anniversary of Johnstown Traction Company ceasing its trolley operations. While this special event features both of our beautifully restored Johnstown Traction Company trolley cars, we will also be celebrating a very special birthday: Built in 1925 by the St. Louis Car Company, our Johnstown car #355 turns 100 years old this year!

Won’t you help us wish #355 a Happy 100th Birthday? The program will kick off at 11:00 AM with commemorative speeches, followed by a birthday cake, unlimited rides, and the opportunity the visit Carbarn 2 (map) for a tour at 2:45 PM.
