An undated view of the trolley that traveled from the Pennsylvania Railroad Station in Lykens, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, to Tower City, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. The station master’s building is seen at the left and the station itself (hidden in this photo) is between the train and the station master’s building. The trolley is positioned on Market Street to move north from the station, where it would then turn east as it headed toward Tower City, roughly following Route 209.
