The Electric City Trolley Museum will offer a special “then and now” excursion on the Laurel Line on Saturday, April 26 at 10 am and 1 pm.  Join Electric City Trolley Motormen John Sheerin and Bob Young for a ride to Little Virginia on the Trolley Through Time as they tell interesting stories about how the line was built, and share images of scenes along the line.

Bob Young grew in the Dutch Hollow section of South Scranton, and his co-presenter John Sheerin is a native of East Mountain. Both men spent much of their youth exploring the rugged landscapes that connected their neighborhoods. The old “Over the Hill” route and the abandoned tunnel line became their playground, a stretch of land rich with history and adventure. Now, as motormen for the Electric City Trolley excursions, they get to revisit these places along the Laurel Line with every trip down the tracks retracing the paths where they once hiked, played, and explored …and they look forward to sharing the treasured memories of their youth on this very special Trolley Through Time.

Tickets cost $15 and can be purchased by calling 570.963.6590

A portion of the proceeds benefit the 505 Restoration project.
