Here is some history we found from http://www.phillytrolley.org/liberty.html
"The Lehigh Valley Transit Company provided trolley service from Philadelphia, through Norristown to Allentown, PA from 1912 to September of 1951. Riders boarded Liberty Bell cars at the P&W Railway's elevated station at Main and Swede Streets. LVT trolleys bound for Philadelphia operated over the the P&W (now SEPTA) high-speed line to Upper Darby, where patrons transferred to Market Frankford El trains. LVT trolleys bound for points north followed tracks on Airy and Markley Streets in Norristown, to just north of Johnson Highway and Swede Road, where the rails curved off to the right to run on high-speed right-of-way. The Liberty Bell followed this pattern through Lansdale, Souderton, Sellersville, Quakertown, and Allentown: it ran like a local streetcar through the towns, and like a high-speed railroad between towns. In regular service, trolleys attained speeds of 60, 70, and (when behind schedule and trying to make up time) 80 mph."
Optional: Drilled hole and a small jump ring added so it can be hung as a charm or pendant. Just let us know what side of the token you want to have the hole on the top of in the notes when you check out.
They have fun detail and would be great for all sorts of projects.
