The Philadelphia and Garrettford Street Railway was an interurban trolley line formed in 1904 that connected Philadelphia to its suburbs. It was later purchased and expanded by the Philadelphia and West Chester Traction Company (P&WCTC), which became known for its "Red Arrow Lines" and was eventually absorbed by SEPTA, the current public transportation authority in the Philadelphia area.
In 1904, the first segment of the Philadelphia & Garrettford Street Railway Company opened. The Philadelphia & Garrettford Street Railway Company included lines to Sharon Hill and Media, and was one of the numerous Philadelphia trolley companies around the turn of the century.
