With the cord for the bell swinging rhythmically up forepart, the tramcar doed its mode firstly through the creekside community of key Shamokin, locomoting downwardly Arch Street, afterward 1st, and finally back to Arch. A couple of of the locations cited by the circuit usher included the site of the Sanitary Milk Company, Reed 's Icecream Parlour, and, in Coal Town, the former Arch Street Shamokin & Edgewood Electric Railroad carbarn ( now Catawese Manager Lines garage ).
