Deep in Pennsylvania's Dutch Country, you wouldn't expect something as modern as an interurban system to intrude upon the otherwise peaceful, low-tech life of the Amish. However, even the Dutch country was not free of its own interurban system, and quite a large one at that. The Conestoga Traction Company may be forgotten now, but at one point it was one of the largest non-metropolitan systems in Pennsylvania, providing farmers and travelers with means to get from its center at Lancaster to the tiny farm towns such as Elizabethtown, Pequea, and even Strasburg. It even formed the basis for a notable comic and cartoon series! But all of that, and more, lies in today's Trolley Tuesday!
Your dose of streetcar and interurban history from the United States and around the world, every Tuesday and Thursday!
