🏈 The Terrible Trolley has been restored to all its ’80s Steelers glory, and it’s ready to roll out at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum.

The Washington County museum, which acquired the historic streetcar in 2023, says it has been “painstakingly” restored to full operation. It will be unveiled at the museum on Tuesday, Aug. 12.

The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum hopes the restored Terrible Trolley will be a major draw to Washington County, especially when the NFL Draft comes to Pittsburgh in 2026.

“The Terrible Trolley represents the Pittsburgh region’s pride in their beloved sports team. We are excited to present this beautifully restored and nostalgic streetcar to our community,” executive director and CEO Jeanine DeBor said in a press release. “We are extremely proud of the hard work and dedication our paid and volunteer staff devoted to this project.”
