Patterson Heights Incline

Operated between January 19, 1896 and 1927. One of the shortest and most unusual trolley car lines in the United States. The line operated with one car built by J.G. Brill of Philadelphia. A dummy car counterbalanced by scrap metal ran on a parallel track.

Marker is at the intersection of Ross Hill Road and Hillside Avenue, on the right when traveling south on Ross Hill Road.
