Philadelphia Trolley Tracks:

Surviving Trolley track-bed in Plymouth Township

Sandy Hill Rd in Plymouth Twp


Although it hasn't seen trolley service in many years, the trolley right-of-way along Sandy Hill Road in Plymouth Township is still visible. When the state rebuilt the road with concrete in 1929, the road was designed around the trolley tracks. This was a common arrangement for local trolley lines, with trolleys travelling both directions on a single track, on the same side of the road. This photo looks west, toward Norristown, at Plymouth Boulevard.
