Tom1122 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 They could always acquire a BBC from Edmonton! I know, wishful thinking. Trolleybus charters in Philly are always interesting. Too bad they don't have any historical vehicles to charter, but the one I attended in 2008 in honor of the revival of northeast Philly's trolleybus network was definitely worth it.

VancouversLocalNerd Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 how are those E60's holding up? I was in SF in May and they were doing fine mechanically but some of them were quite badly vandalized and they looked as though they'd been that way for a while, as in MUNI couldn't be bothered to paint over graffiti or replace glass, even saw a rollsign on one that had been painted over.

Brings back great memories of that year which was the last time I rode a trolley bus. Back in the days when you could videotape right at the front and probably never get hassled. I especially like the jane station shots! I completely forgot about the sound those old flyers made when braking. !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy! That's Don on unit # 113. That's before Horizon 2000. In 1997 (right after the implementation of Horizon 2000) he did one sign up on the WW run of the rte 7 (that Leroy consequently signed) and then he went to the diesel rte 9.
