Reply to comment by BroadStreetRandy in Before the el went to Frankford, it went down Delaware Ave to South St to service the ferries. The portal was on Front St going north, before making this super sharp curve around a building at Arch and going down Delaware. Photos from 1910. by beancounter2885

If memory serves, weren't there trolleys along Deleware Ave back in the 70s?

Tracks are still in the middle of the lanes in some places

That's freight right of way- not trolley if I'm not mistaken.

It is owned and maintained by CSX, but trolleys ran on it up until 1995.
