SEPTA to bring back iconic trolleys to Philadelphia this weekend

After undergoing years of restoration, SEPTA's vintage green and cream trolleys from the 1940s are making a comeback.

*Bout time! I miss those green bombshells!*

Lol

I love these types of trolleys deliveries the inside the wheels the interior everything about these green trolleys it just it's just really good and thank God too

[@yvonneplant9434]

This is great!!!!

[@GIRLRAZR]

We need these things to take over the whole city. They look so much better than double long septa buses covered in ads. London got the tall red bus. SF got the cable car. Philly should be known for these iconic trolleys.

@@GIRLRAZR Even the kawasakis can look good. They looked so much better with the big fat blue and red line on the side that they just put back on one of them.

I'm glad & now I can't wait to catch a ride on one of them Classic trolley trains. I saw one in Northern Liberties 4 to 5 years ago.

[@ReginaldBostic360]

I'll be glad when they also run in the tunnel as a fan trip

These trolleys bring back memories and are classic Philly transit equipment.💪 Passengers be careful when entering and exiting Philly drivers are jackasses.

Kudos to SEPTA and the City of Philadelphia for making this project a reality! These eight PCCs, along with an additional ten slated for refurbishment, will greatly expand the tourism industry in the city! Congratulations! 🚃

[@josephschuster1494]

Kudos to SEPTA for the enormous financing and careful labor needed to make these eight PCCs be reinstated into service! And your plans for yet refurbishing another ten cars will produce a fleet worthy of promoting tourism in Philadelphia! Excellent city planning! Now if only PRT in Pittsburgh could learn a thing or two from SEPTA…. ☹️

I hope they have that same energy for the abandoned Kawasaki LRV cars.

[@cosmicredeemer3109]

They should rebuild those trolleys at 50th-49th and woodland.

[@sevenspecie592]

Thats awesome!! Ive never rode the trolley, but i thi k its a great idea!

[@JacobThompson-ze1uz]

Lets not forget that Septa police has a union that can strike even though they are supposed to help uphold the law

[@bennyboogenheimer4553]

Are there any full lines where the tracks are still usable?

[@yvonneplant9434]

Only the route 15 is what these will run on.

[@MeYou-vp7jb]

Is it bulletproof?

[@lem.h.4362]

Buses can go around double parked cars. Trollys cannot.

[@chantelledawkins7959]

This is a dumb idea because now the city is going to say that the Charlie needs new trucks.So this is something else that taxpayers are going to have to come out there.Pockets with for some dumb stuff.City philadelphia got more ship with us than the little bit

[@bennyboogenheimer4553]

Somebody skipped a whole lotta of school, didn't they?
