The Class of 1956 Trolley
Gomaco Trolley Company,
2006
* big
trolley
* inscription:
The Class of 1956 Trolley is a replica of Peter Witt trolleys that carried generations
of commuting students to Penn from all parts of the region and also provided
convenient access from campus to cultural and other attractions in Center City, Philadelphia.
With noisy steel wheels and clanging bells, these trolleys created a constant interruption
to campus life and were an unforgettable part of the Penn experience. Operated by
The Philadelphia Transportation Company (a precursor to SEPTA), Routes 11, 34, and 37
ran through the Penn campus on Woodland Avenue and Locust Street for nearly 65 years.
In 1956 they were relocated underground, enabling the University to begin conversion
of the campus to a unified and attractive landscape environment. Woodland Avenue and
Locust Street became the first pedestrian walkways through the campus.
The Class of 1956 Trolley was fabricated by the Gomaco Trolley Company in October, 2006.
The original Peter Witt Trolleys were manufactured by J.G. Brill from 1923-26.
