The former 79 Synder trolleybus route (Southern Division) will soon become a Proterra Electric Bus route.Things are going a little slow with that conversion. Septa, IIHC, has only (2) Proterras, and no end of the line charging stations , yet. I'll try to find out a little more about that, If I can. |

In my flatware drawer I have a SS knife stamped Horn & Hardart Baking Co I loved their Cinnamon rolls. At the Reading Terminal H&H you could have them sliced, toasted and buttered. A fine breakfast after a ride from Wister. |

Chicago, Baltimore, Philly, DC, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, LA, St Louis, Milwaukee, Twin Cities (cars sold to Newark, now in SF)...Far easier to name the cities which kept at least a few streetcar lines. |

Was there ever a GRAND UNION in the Philly System?My sources that are very knowledgeable about the system tell me, NO. The Phily streetcar system never had one. |

Posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Apr 17 05:38:38 2018, in response to Old Philly photos, posted by TransitChuckG on Sun Apr 15 12:33:17 2018. What is noticeable in many of these pictures (mostly between 1966-'70) is how different many of the neighborhoods where these pictures were taken were at the time they were. |
