 This trolley system served as an important link for the south hills of Pittsburgh and Washington County residents who traveled for work, shopping, and recreation.The Pennsylvania Railway Museum Association non-profit organization purchased a 2,000-foot section of railway line of the Pittsburgh Railways Company's abandoned Washington interurban trolley line from Washington to Pittsburgh near the Washington County Fairgrounds in Chartiers Township.On February 7, 1954, the museum's first three cars were moved to the site.
