If you take the Media/Elwyn Line (R3) or Trolley 101 (Media) you'll want to read this.

In 1983 the R3 Line (Media/Elwyn) was closed for a year for needed repair on the Crum Creek Trestle.  I was too you young to care about that back then, but with a lack of budget funding, we may have an issue on our hands, as reported by the delcotimes.com.  

The future of the R3 Line and 101 Trolley (runs through Media) could be in jeopardy due to needed repairs that if not done, could shut down
