SEPTA makes progress on historic trolley restoration project

Ross DiMattei reports.

It’s nice to see SEPTA doing something to keep trolleys running in the city. For years other cities have preserved and run these PCC cars for historic and tourist interest while SEPTA was abandoning old trolley lines. Modernizing them and keeping them running which use electric power is better than using diesel powered busses. I hope they continue to conserve and maintain these cars and possibly bring more back to run in the historic area of center city to appeal to tourists like other cities do.

Beautiful Work. WE LOVE OUR TROLLEYS!! Can't wait to see the whole fleet back in service (and ride them).

The proper people did a video on a streetcar graveyard a couple of months back, and they mentioned that a person that’s been dedicated to try to preserve and restore Some of these street cars were targeted by vandals and heavily vandalized and destroyed. I wonder if this is the same place that was targeted. Anyways, great work guys and gals for bringing these old cars back to life and back to running order

I wish Chicago and St Louis had kept some PCCs and trackage. These are beautiful

I hope I can see them on the 15 again.

Take your time guys hard work pays off we don’t need the trolleys rn some ppl don’t deserve them rn cause once they hit the streets ppl will tear it apart again

I saw so many people call BS on the PCCs needing new frames after 15 years but damn that looked bad.

[@dysontyronetd]

In that was the case, why can they restore routes 29 and 79 track-less trolleys. It's STILL NOT FAIR

The St. Louis car CO Brookville PCC route 15 will return to Girard Ave September
