Created in 1902, the Radnor Trail first served as a part of the Philadelphia & Western Railway Company (P&W).
However, Gould's innovative and progressive plan was methodically scaled back, including the railway's length.
At the end of completion, the railway traveled from Philadelphia's 69th Street Terminal to suburban Strafford.
Radnor Township acquired rights to build a trail where the abandoned railway line existed.
There are free parking and restrooms located at the Conestoga Road entry point.
