Penns Landing Philadelphia 5-89 1
Former Philadelphia & Western interurban car operating on the Penn's Landing trolley. This operation used Conrail's waterfront freight trackage along Delaware Avenue.
The car is at the north end of the line, so we're standing underneath the Ben Franklin Bridge looking north. At this location the freight tracks swung across the southbound lanes of Delaware Ave. to connect with Front St. one block to the west. By this time the freight trackage north of the bridge was out of service.
