History

The Delaware County and Philadelphia Electric Railway Company installed transit tracks for horsecars running along Baltimore Avenue as early as 1890, but it was the arrival of the electrified trolley two years later that allowed the extension of the line westward to the new community of Angora.
The line was routed into the subway–surface tunnel on December 15, 1906. The route was called the Angora Line until it was given the number 34 in 1911.
In April 2020, the line's operations were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Service resumed on May 17, 2020.
Route 34 was renamed as the T2 on February 24, 2025.
