808 also on the 59 had bad heat. 801 was swapped for 807, the heat was adequate.

Let's hope whatever they are tinkering with to fix the ehat, does not ruin the good A/C for the summer that the trackless has.

The a/c in the summer is a little too good, IMO. That a/c required sweaters/jackets. I have a suspicion that whatever is causing the problem with the heat caused the problems with the a/c in the summer as well.

I was also told that somewhere along Frankford Avenue is a switch that screws up the electrical system when you go through it. Ithink its the one near Bleigh. It'd be interesting to find more info out about that.

I used to live in the Logan triangle. My address was 923 W. Wyoming Avenue. Leon used to take me to school every morning from 1st grade to 3rd grade. Then we were forced to move. We were some of the last people living in the triangle before those torned down. I miss my house.

Coach 820 was seen along Route 75 today, in testing mode. The shop guys were driving it, must have just been fixed.
Now if we can get 800 on the road?
59-2002 has 835 today, it's now on the 75 route as we speak. 11:15 AM 02/24/09

Good heat in 806 today. 59-2002 , which is now on the 75 has student drivers for the last 3 trips on the 75. The operator is relaxing in the back conversing with the passengers.The students will all graduate early next week.

A lot of trucks on the 75 at J. Silvert's (2nd & Wyoming)today, PECO is repairing line poles or something.

Both the wire and the street,I guess? I here the wire is so bad, the trackless has to do 15- 20 mph with the poles up. That's why a lot of operators EPU there.
