Reference
Historical Context
The West Philadelphia Passenger Railway Company was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1857.
In 1865, Philadelphia's Market Street Horse Car Passenger Railway (yellow cars--red lights) came out Market Street from Front as far as 41st Street, and then north to Haverford Avenue where the terminal stood. (The building is still used as a bus barn.) At this depot, one changed to the West Philadelphia Passenger Railway (green cars-white lights) which traveled out Haverford Avenue to 54th Street thence south to Vine, west to 66th Street and return.
This line contributed greatly to the Haddington section development.
