OcTrolleyFest 2005

A Celebration of Transportation Heritage and Community

For nearly 150 years, or since 24 December, 1858, when horse car service to Darby began, streetcars and trolleys have connected us with the wider world and with each other. On Saturday, October 15, 2005, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm we celebrated this heritage. A restored, streamlined PCC made the loop between Darby, Yeadon and the Elmwood Depot Pictures TrolleySongs Trolley Mural Marvil Funeral Home Mural Fire Company #1 Mural Main Street, Darby in 1922
