The Evans City-Pittsburgh Route



The Evans City station was the heart of the Harmony Line. From Evans City travelers could connect to trolleys heading west to Ellwood, east to Butler, and south to Pittsburgh. The main car barn for the trolleys was only several minutes west at Harmony Junction.

Commuter trolleys typically took about 40 minutes to reach Pittsburgh from Evans City. This is comparable to the forty to forty-five minutes it takes modern drivers to reach Pittsburgh from Evans City via I-79.


Commuters waited in comfort at the Evans City trolley station.



The junction at the Evans City trolley station saw trolleys coming from three directions.



This was the maintenance hub for the Harmony Line trolleys. The building, long since demolished, was located just east of Harmony, Pa.
