Opportunity At The Darby Transportation Center
There is a trolley bridge, built in 1904, which has a certain industrial elegance and sylvan charm (See pictures below). The bridge, a Warren Pony-Truss (where the deck rests upon the trusses)  is connected to the  new Darby Transportation Center   For information on the bridge project, contact John Haigis, (610) 583-0788  For pictures of the draft of historical marker signs, click here.
