From Pittsburgh Post Gazette:

 

 

People aren’t the only ones to celebrate 100th birthdays.

At noon June 24, visitors and staff at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum in Washington, Pa., will sing “Happy Birthday” to Pittsburgh Railways streetcar No. 4398 as part of the museum’s Parade of Trolleys.

This year’s event will be dedicated to the trolleys that ran during World War I. At 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. visitors will see No. 4398 and other trolleys run the tracks around the museum.

The yellow streetcar serviced McKeesport, Glassport, Munhall, Braddock, Lincoln, Spring Hill and the Mon Valley. It operated out of the Millvale and Glenwood car houses throughout its years in operation.

Event day admission is $10 for adults, $9 seniors and $7 

children ages 3-15. Children ages 2 and under are free. Summer hours are 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.
