Perkasie PA railroad and trolley tunnels, February 2026

The Perkasie Tunnel, also known as the Landis Ridge Tunnel, is a train tunnel in Bucks County, Pennsylvania on a line owned by SEPTA and operated by the East Penn Railroad. It was built in 1917. The southern portal of the tunnel is in Perkasie just southeast of the intersection of Ridge Road, Ridge Avenue and Tunnel Road, while the northern portal is near the southwest end of Pennridge Airport in East Rockhill Township. Northbound passenger trains going through the tunnel traveled to Union Station in Bethlehem and points beyond. Many southbound passenger trains were destined for Reading Terminal in Philadelphia. The Perkasie station on 8th Street was formerly equipped with a water tower, of which not a trace remains. The Percy trolley tunnel carried the Liberty Bell higher speed trolley line between Philadelphia and Allentown. It was named because this was the route that they carried liberty Bell to Allentown in 1777. It’s ceased operation in 1951. There’s been a lot of talk about bringing back the line.
