Farewell Ride on Cleveland's Rail Fleet

The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum is offering a chance to bid goodbye to GCRTA’s rail car roster that’s retiring after 40 plus years of service. In the next year, a single car-type will take over the job on all routes.

Our excursion meets at Tower City Saturday morning, October 4, at 8:30 AM and will cover all three rail lines. The exact meeting location will be sent after registration. The trip is scheduled to wrap up just before 3:00 PM.

The excursion will take a Tokyu heavy rail car to inspect the Windermere – Airport Red Line. Next, we'll receive a tour of the Central Rail Shop to see what it takes to keep transit cars on the road. Lastly, we’ll board a Breda light rail car to ride over the Shaker Heights Blue and Green Lines. Many photo opportunities are planned.

Tickets are $75 per person. A limited number of tickets for children ages 12 and under are available at $10 per child. A portion of your ticket will support the restoration of PTM’s Shaker Heights Rapid Transit 94 to full operation.

Sign up early as seating is limited!

Reach out to Kristen at kfred@patrolley.org with any questions.

Note: This excursion requires a minimum number of attendees in order to take place. In the event of a cancelation, excursion tickets are fully refundable.
