The Oley Valley Railroad of Pennsylvania

The Oley Valley Railroad Company built a trolley car route connecting Reading, Pleasantville and Boyertown in Pennsylvania that met another electric trolley line in Stony Creek which came from Reading. The Oley Valley Railroad had 22.5 miles of track, and it was built at a cost of $500,000. The trolley ran through the village of Pleasantville near the covered bridge and what is now Tollgate Road. Edna Yoder Dierolf of the Oley Yoder Heritage Association, remembers riding the Oley Valley trolley from Washington Street in Boyertown, around the Horseshoe Curves and into Pleasantville. The tracks were removed in the 1930's about the time the sewers were installed in Boyertown.
