A Celebration of Philadelphia Trolleys

em>A celebration of Philadelphia Trolleys by artist Karl Yoder is located in the Spruce Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This mural features two scenes of trolley travel from the past that evoke Philadelphia’s strong connection to the streetcar. The upper image in color is a passenger looking out for a trolley while it goes over the Strawberry Mansion Bridge. The lower image, taken from a 1909 photograph shows a busy street scene of pedestrians, shoppers, and a trolley on 12th street outside Reading Terminal Market, which was once a busy transportation center and now a large marketplace.
