A rail line that was formerly the [[Reading Company]]'s [[Bethlehem Branch]] runs north-south through Telford connecting to [[Perkasie, Pennsylvania|Perkasie]], [[Quakertown, Pennsylvania|Quakertown]], and [[Bethlehem, Pennsylvania|Bethlehem]] to the north and [[Souderton, Pennsylvania|Souderton]], [[Hatfield, Pennsylvania|Hatfield]], and [[Lansdale, Pennsylvania|Lansdale]] to the south.  The line was used by the [[SEPTA]] [[Bethlehem Line]] until 1981. The tracks are still used for the transport of freight between Lansdale and Quakertown, and beyond. The line is used for occasional scenic rail trips, and resumption of passenger service to Quakertown is being considered. Telford is also the via point location for [[Pennsylvania Northeastern Railroad]] out of Lansdale and [[East Penn Railroad]] out of Quakertown. The [[Telford station]] is still standing, though remains vacant.

From 1901 to 1951, an interurban electric trolley line, Lehigh Valley Transit, known as the Liberty Bell Limited, ran from Telford north to Allentown (through Quakertown) and south (through Lansdale) to Philadelphia. During [[World War II]], it carried a large number of passengers due to gas rationing, forcing a reduction in auto use, but after the war its business declined  and in 1951, it abandoned rail and converted to bus operation.
