I've been to Dutch Springs many times and never have seen the trolley. I've heard of it, but always got low on air before I could reach it. The trolley isn't the only thing that Dutch Springs has submerged. They have a firetruck, a helicopter (which is really neat I might add), two boats, a crane, a van, and a trailer from a semi. If there are any scuba divers in the Allentown region, this is a pretty good place to dive.
