EspañolCRUM CREEK
'Crum Creek' is a creek in Delaware County, Pennsylvania and Chester County, Pennsylvania. It begins in a swamp (formerly a lake, dammed out) near Newtown Square, Pennsylvania along which several mills were established in the 1800s. Right afterward it crosses under Pennsylvania Route 29 and winds one and a half miles downstreem until it hits the hamlet of Crum Creek. It later flows into the Delaware River near Philadelphia.
Two notable landmarks along the creek's course are high trestles: a trolley trestle about 30 feet high runs across the creek in Smedley Park in Nether Providence Township; this trestle carries the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority's 101 trolley line from Media, Pennsylvania across the creek. About a mile south, a 1000 foot long, 100 foot high trestle carries SEPTA's R3 commuter railroad line across the creek, which by now winds through a deep valley. The trestle is half in Nether Providence Township (west of the creek) and half in Swarthmore borough (east of the creek).
