Philadelphia's Fairmount Park Trolley: 1896 - 1946

Fairmount Park Trolley
Fairmount Park trolley rolls east over Strawberry Mansion Bridge in the last year of trolley service.
Winter months were the only time that trolleys ran through between Belmont & Parkside Ave. and 33rd & Dauphin.
Running on a 22-1/2 minute headway, two trolleys were enough to provide service during the off season.
During winter the rest of the closed cars, and the open cars, were stored under roof at the carbarn in West Park.
Photo date is January 1946.
