"Liberty Bell Limited" high speed service |
| Description: |
A 69th Street bound Lehigh Valley Transit Liberty Bell Limited meets the connecting bus for Richlandtown, which replaced the LVT trolley on that branch. The interurban is one of the former Cincinnati Car Company "Red Devils" (aluminum cars) built for the Cincinnati & Lake Erie. It would be in the 1000 series, built in 1930, sold to the LVT in 1939, retired in 1951 and scrapped at Bethelehem Steel shortly after in 1952. Although hard to see, this car still has 3rd rail shoes, which it will lose in a few months when service is cut back to Norristown. Note the sign to the Quakertown Airport. The station house on the left still exists today. |
