Come join us! Plenty of seats left. > > > > > > The Friends of Philadelphia Trolleys is running a night time Trackless Trolley Charter on Saturday Sept.26, 2009. We plan to cover all three routes, starting with the 75. Highlights will include using all the Trackless wire in the Frankford yard, and going up the never used bus way to the 66. The bus way was intended to be a pull out for the 66 and was scrapped in the final plans,so it sits unused.So it will be a rare treat to use it. Numerous nighttime photo stops will be included in the trip. Refreshments provided on board the coach. > > We plan on boarding at FTC at 7:30PM and it will be a 4 hour trip. > > > > Ticket price , $35.00 each. > > > > All checks and any information needed, send to: > > > > Chuck Greene > 122 Biddle Drive > > Exton, PA, 19341-1706 > > > > charles.greene99@gmail.com |

And it has trackless wire in it. I think they thought the 66 would go that way, but when they laid out the new FTC, the driveways don't line up. so the 66 has those hard turns right on Bridge and left on Bustleton. |

One time there was a TT was disabled(not really) at the turn on to Bridge a couple of Rt66 TT had to EPU that bus way until the "disabled" bus EPU to the depot. The bus pole shoe thingy fell off. |

Guys, Due to lack of attendees, we cannot run the charter,it's a long story. I want to thank ll of you for sending me the checks, and trying to make this thing a success. Unfortunately, we had to cancel. I am as disappointed as the rest of you will be. Chuck Greene |

LOL, I thought it was an update to the cancellation. Oh well, sorry it hasn't happened :(. On a side note, it'd be cool to ride a K-car on the 15, or a PCC II on the 23... Just an idea... |

The K car on the 15,could happen, we already did that a few years ago, so... Don't expect any trolleys to run on the 23....... |
