It operated successfully into the 1930s, struggled financially during the Depression, and was saved from abandonment by a dramatic ridership increase due to the Second World War. In 1951, the again financially struggling LVT ended its interurban rail service to Philadelphia. In 1952, it ended its Allentown area trolley service. It adopted local bus service in the Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton, Pennsylvania areas until going out of business in 1972. ==Corporate Origins== Public transport in Allentown, Pennsylvania began on 21 May 1868 when a horse-car line was placed in operation between the Black Bear Hotel (9th and Hamilton Streets) and the Lehigh Valley Railroad Depot (3d and Hamilton Streets). The transition from horse-power to electric power began in 1891 when the Allentown-Bethlehem Rapid transit company erected a powerhouse at Front and Linden Streets in the First Ward (near the Lehigh River).〔Hellerich, Mahlon H, and Pennsylvania) Lehigh County Historical Society Allentown. Allentown, 1762-1987 : a 225-year history. Allentown, Pennsylvania: Lehigh County Historical Society, 1987〕 In 1893, the Allentown and Lehigh Valley Traction Company was created by investor Albert Johnson. The Quakertown Traction Company in 1898 operated electric trolleys from Richlandtown in Bucks County to Perkasie, and by 1900 the Inland Traction Company ran south from Perkasie to Lansdale, and Montgomery Traction Company ran from there to Norristown. In 1901, a newly formed Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley Traction Company under Johnson merged these lines and others in the Lehigh and Delaware Valleys with the hope create a trolley system to reach New York City. But Johnson died later that year, plus the company was in receivership by 1903. Even in receivership (where by court order interest payments on a corporation's bonds are suspended,) route expansion continued, and Allentown to the Philadelphia area of Chestnut Hill trolley service started the same year. Connection with the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company allowed rider access to downtown Philadelphia. In 1905, the assets of the new Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley Traction Company were acquired by the Lehigh Valley Transit Company, and the owners started an extensive rebuilding of the Allentown to Philadelphia route. Side of road tracks were replaced by open country tracks in open country. High speed interurban cars were acquired. This program culminated in a line running from Allentown to Norristown, the interurban line that existed until 1951. Operation with interurbans running hourly directly from Allentown to Philadelphia's 69th Street terminal using the Philadelphia and Western Railroad began in December 1912. Service on the former Inland Traction route running from North Wales (Junction) to Chestnut Hill continued until 1926, and the route between central Quakertown and Richlandtown ran until 1929, both replaced by bus. The LVT and P&W both reorganized during the next twenty years (LVT twice), but trolleys continued to operate and compete with the nearby Reading Railroad due to lower cost to riders, particularly during the Depression and then its vital service during the gasoline rationing of World War II. 〔 name="LBL">(【引用サイトリンク】title=Philly NRHS - Lehigh Valley Transit )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lehigh Valley Transit Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
