Not to mention, the MFL was constructed in the PA trolley gauge to eliminate the possibility of a major railroad company possibly buying them out. At least that's what I ready anyway. Pittsburgh's light rail system is entirely in PA Trolley gauge as well. I think the entire trolley system -- you know, before the city became incredibly stupid and ripped out the tracks, was that gauge.

With all this talk of trolleys. I was in Chestnut Hill on Sunday, and I noticed that there are trolley tracks that run along Germantown Ave. Why is that no longer in use???
