Red Arrow Trolleys |
| Origin of Team Name |
Growing
up in Philly area, loved trolleys. Took ‘em to a lot of great places.
Plus, when I was living in Sharon Hill and stumped coming up with a
unique name for one of my early teams, my five-year daughter said “how
about Trolleys, like the Sharon Hill Trolley?” Worked for me.
Red Arrow is the name of the old suburban transit
company that ran the – you guessed it – Red Arrow Trolleys! |
