| This 1863 sketch by local artist John Richards shows lower Germantown Avenue, then known as Negley's Hill, with Loudoun mansion on the left. On the right, the PG&N railroad tracks with a locomotive can be seen. A horse-drawn buggy is going up the hill while a horse-drawn streetcar comes down. At Wayne Junction, a "hill-horse" was attached to the steetcar to help pull the load up to Seymour Street. The horse then returned on its own to meet the next car. | ||||||||
