Trolley Bridge at Wiconisco, 1902

An undated photo post card of the trolley bridge or trestle at Wiconisco, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.  Although the caption on the card states that the bridge was at Lykens, it was actually located north of Lykens and in the town of Wiconisco, where the trolley tracks crossed the Lykens Valley Railroad tracks.

According to information in Gene D. Gordon‘s Little Railways of the Lykens Valley, page 4, the trolley pictured was Car No. 34, made by the Brill Company and was a single truck car that was received from Harrisburg in a trade for another car known as Puritan. Gordon estimates the photo from about 1902.
