The Mountain View Trolley was established on July 10; 1907; after booming tourism increased the need for transportation between Stroudsburg and the town of Delaware Water Gap. In the late 1800s; visitors began flocking to the region to enjoy the beautiful scenery and pristine wildlife. Built by the J. R. Brill Company in Philadelphia; the Mountain View Trolley ran on a narrow-gauge track and was capable of hauling a large number of passengers. The trolley cars operated on overhead wires and battery power and ran year-round; shuttling residents and visitors and working as a school bus for local schoolchildren. The introduction of motor coaches and automobiles brought about the end of the trolley age; and the Mountain View Trolley ended its run in September 1928.
