Posted by zac on Sat Nov 1 09:47:12 2014, in response to Tuscarora Almanac - October 31, 1956 - The Book of Last Runs, posted by Larry,RedbirdR33 on Fri Oct 31 07:33:36 2014. I remember the single wire above Church Avenue lasted for a while after that, since I can remember it at all. The tracks though were paved over. When I went to JHS (Walt Whitman) I was always struck by how many buses would be running on Church Avenue, it seemed like a non-stop flow. It still does.And on a related topic, I was in Philly last week and saw a PCC on Girard as I was crossing under on I-76. This was my first running PCC sighting since I rode them in Newark with my then 3 or 4 year old son almost 20 years ago. The 3 (now just 1) by the Fairway don't count. It wasn't such a great idea back when first proposed, but now the Red Hook trolley would have been a great addition to the neighborhood. When I pointed the Girard PCC out to my daughter she just shrugged. She didn't make the connection that it was the same car as the dilapidated Fairway ones. |
