Railfan Pictures of the Day - 09/08/2005


SEPTA Route 15 Philadelphia PA September 4 2005
 
11:21 AM PCC II 2322 really leans into the curve as it heads west from the Richmond Loop.
11:22 AM 2325 waits at the loop as 2322 departs.
11:26 AM Railfans weren't the only ones interested in the return of the trolleys, as many longtime residents of the area remember this car in this color scheme from the PTC days.
11:46 AM 2322 crosses over the tracks of the Route 23, one of two other trolley lines that SEPTA has said are "temporarily" using buses (Route 56 is the other). If gas prices continue to skyrocket, who knows, we may see more trolleys back on the streets of Philadelphia.
