The tracks for the trolley line that once ran through town were revealed Friday by the project to repave Pelhamdale Avenue from the Boston Post Road to Shore Road. The rails will disappear again when the new surface is laid down.

On July 31, 1937, the trolley, with a route that connected Pelham Manor and downtown Pelham, made its final trip.

In a bit of synchronicity, the view of the tracks came a day before Pelham’s Toonerville Music Festival, which was named in honor of the H-Line Trolley made famous last century by a nationally syndicated comic strip.

Fontaine Fox created one of the most popular comic strips in the country in the first half of the 20th century, ‘Toonerville Folks.” It featured a trolley and crew that Fontaine modeled on “a rattletrap of a streetcar” he saw at the train station then in Pelham Manor when visiting town, Fox said in an interview with the Saturday Evening Post.
