Photographs of the H Line and A Line Trolleys on and Near Pelhamdale
Avenue
Among the many resources available to those
interested in the history of Pelham is a wonderful Web site entitled
"Dave's Electric Railroads" located at
http://www.davesrailpix.com/.
Among the materials available on that site is a large collection of
photographs of trolleys on the Third Avenue Railway System that ran
through Pelham. That collection is available on the page located at
http://www.davesrailpix.com/tars/tars.htm.
There are a number of photographs in the collection that show trolleys
traveling along -- or near -- Pelhamdale Avenue. Today's posting to the
Historic Pelham Blog provides links to -- and information about -- a
number of the photographs in the collection.

This fascinating photograph shows two trolley cars in front of the
structures that include today's 89 Wolfs Lane. The structure originally
housed the Pelham National Bank when it first opened in 1921. This is
the place where the trolley that "met all the trains" departed from the
Pelham station on its way to the Pelham Manor Depot and, later, Shore
Road -- the trolley that inspired Fontaine Fox to create the "Toonerville
Trolley" that appeared in his famous "Toonerville Folks" comic strip.

This photograph actually shows the trolley proceeding westward on Boston
Post Road approaching the "Four Corners" intersection between Boston Post
Road and Pelhamdale Avenue. The apartments are visible on the left and a
portion of the Four Corners Shopping complex parking lot is visible on the
right. The trolley tracks in the foreground are in the middle of
Pelhamdale Avenue and are the tracks on which the "Toonerville Trolley"
ran.
