Trolleyology: 100+ Years of Suburban Philadelphia High-Speed Interurban History

Join PTM staff, volunteers, members, and friends of the Museum for our Zoom series, Trolleyology! These programs feature Pennsylvania transit history topics, stories of our collection, and tales of the Trolley Era that you can experience from home. Registration is required but free of charge. Donations support our programming and are welcome and encouraged.

This program from John Calnan will cover the history of the Philadelphia & Western Railroad and its successor operators, the Red Arrow Lines and SEPTA.  In addition, slides will discuss scheduled service patterns, vehicles operated, track maps, signage, unique facts, and other interesting tidbits.

When: Tuesday, April 22, 2025 at 7 PM ET

A Zoom link will be sent to you in a confirmation email after registration. For those who have registered by 12 PM on the day of the program, a reminder email will also be sent with an easy-to-click link to join the Zoom.

If you do not receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link, please reach out to Kristen Fredriksen at kfred@patrolley.org.
