Railfan Pictures of the Day - 08/08/2007


Richmond Street and Girard Avenue Philadelphia PA July 27 2007
 
Shots of the Route 15 trolleys just before they were bustituted from July 27 to August 6 while underground cable work was completed. At the start of its westward run, PCC II 2335 and cars play follow the leader at Richmond and Allegheny.
Bustitution is still hours away, but one sneaks out to lend a hand during rush hour.
The illiterate bus is about to pass under the SEPTA Main Line at Ninth Street and greet 2335.
Fortunately, trolleys can read.
