The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum, in Washington, Pa., will have its Antique Trucks and Trolleys event from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today.

The largest display of restored antique trucks in Western Pennsylvania will be part of the 20th anniversary truck show celebration of the Antique Truck Club of America's Western Pennsylvania Chapter.

Trucks will include antique and classic pickups, tractor trailers and delivery trucks. Also included in the admission price are rides on restored vintage trolleys and RG-2, the "world's ugliest diesel locomotive."

Admission also includes tours of the trolley display building (which houses 29 trolleys from all over the region), a blacksmithing demonstration and a World War II encampment.

Displays will include an award-winning operating model trolley layout presented by the East Penn Traction Club, the photographic exhibit, "Let's Ride! 150 Years of Pittsburgh Transportation History" and a film on the trolley era.

Admission is $9 for adults; $8, seniors ages 62 and older; and $5, children ages 3-15. Children 2 and under are admitted free. There is a family rate of $30, which covers up to two adults and four children. For information, call 724-228-9256 or e-mail www.pa-trolley.org .
