Philadelphia's Fairmount Park Trolley: 1896 - 1946

Fairmount Park Trolley
This 1938 Fairmount Park Transit Co. schedule shows trolleys scheduled to run every 22-1/2 minutes during winter months.
Between the end of November and beginning of May, trolleys were through routed between
the North Philadelphia terminal at 33rd & Dauphin, and the West Philadelphia terminal at 44th (Belmont Av.) & Parkside Avenue.
Two trolleys were sufficient to operate the winter service.
FPT Company's agreement with the Fairmount Park Commission did not require trolley service during winter months,
but the company provided winter trolley service anyway, every year until the last (1946).
