The part where the 15 stops at Girard and Lancaster, is right around the corner from my house.

This trolley reminds me of the "GREEN HORNET STREETCARS"by the CTA in Chicago that ran until June 21st 1958.

Its kinda sad to see such beautiful trolleys operate through some of the most poorest parts of Philly... I hope one day Philly can get funding to give a face lift to its surrounding towns, because they need it. Great ride!

We have the trolley modernization program that has been around for years at this point. We finally have some funding for it and should see massive improvements like boarding platforms, new trolleys, and ROW improvements. Slowly the poorer areas is getting some investment but very slowly at this point.

The 15 goes through Fishtown, Fairmount and Brewerytown. All are either already wealthy neighborhoods or are very much up and coming neighborhoods.

The funny thing about The PCC Trollies, is that they're more accessible because they have a wheelchair lift, they should not only still be on the 15 line still, but they need to be on the West Philly trolley lines. Cause it might work that way, instead of replacing the PCC Trollies, but SEPTA wanted to do this modernization thing now.

Where do the unused trolley tracks past the Market--Frankford elevated station go? I was there last summer and noticed the tracks cross a bridge, run under a highway structure then are paved over and there's no overhead wire. Are these tracks going to see trolleys again, or will this be a SEPTA 'temporary" bus replacement?

Drew K they continue to Richmond Via Girard, then up Richmond Street to Westmoreland Street. I actually have video on how that section looked when it was served by the trolleys somewhere on this channel lol

Drew K they rebuilt the tracks up Richmond Street, whenever Westmoreland Loop is finished that's probably when trolleys will return

I didn’t know they had Clever Devices announcements. Will these trolleys receive internal LED displays during their next overhaul?
