Re: ]January 28 in RR History


 

January 28, 1957 All Philadelphia PCC cars on the 7 routes at Luzerne Depot (6, 20, 47, 50, 53, 56, and 60) received lock-type fare boxes. Only the PCC cars at Woodland Depot still had to receive them, but not until route 46 would go bus. The remodeled 8000s at Southern Depot were being repainted for continued service on the Market Street 17 and 32 routes.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?January 28, 1962 It was noted that Washington's 2 trolley routes on 14th Street (50 and 54), the first 2 to get the PCC cars in 1937, were the last 2 to operate in Washington.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
