March 12, 1961 Philadelphia trolleybus route 61 on Ridge Avenue, which once connected with trolley routes at 36 locations in North Philadelphia and Center City, was converted to bus operation and transferred to Allegheny Depot from Ridge Depot which closed. Since buses were used on weekends, March 10 was the last day of trolleybus operation. The postwar ACF-Brill TC-44 trolleybuses were later trucked to Southern Depot to re-equip route 79 on Snyder Avenue which was still bus operated. Ridge Depot was cleared of all vehicles on March 18 and the storage tracks, last used in 1957-58, were removed. Also, all-electric PCC cars 2708-18 were in dead storage at Germantown and Woodland Depots after being used on route 23 (Germantown Avenue-11th and 12th Streets) because of their Westinghouse equipment; Germantown Depot operators preferred the General Electric cars (2726-2800).? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
