This presentation features video of Route 15 trolley in Philadelphia on Girard Avenue and on Richmond Street, and includes some interspersed still pictures. This was filmed in 2010.

The PCC II was the definition of a great Streetcar.

I’m glad they’re putting them back in service in September

Hi Darrell, Thanks for watching and for your hopeful comment. SEPTA hasn't always been accurate with their predictions; we hope they are this time. If not September, then soon after. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😁

I would ride the 15 trolley from end to end. As trolley rides go it is an excellent ride. I do miss the 6,23 50 53 56 and the 60,they were great to see the real Philadelphia.

Hi Thom, Thanks again for watching. We're all hoping the 15 gets up and running again with the PCC cars but, knowing SEPTA, this is questionable. Luckily, we did have a few years of it running and I got to take lots of video and ride it. My favorites were the 53 and the 56 for speed and variety. Cheers, tassiebaz.

Hi Tyrone, Unfortunately, things are on hold now for Route 15. Hopefully, it'll come back better than ever. What is your favorite trolley route? Cheers, tassiebaz.

Hi boomer647, Thanks for watching and for your comment. Actually, most of it was shot in the early morning. It's much harder to photograph on Girard Avenue later on because of all the traffic and noise. Regards, tassiebaz.

Hi Tyrone, Yes, it's great, and especially good early in the morning when these videos were taken. There is too much traffic noise later on to really appreciate the trolley sounds. Cheers, tassiebaz.

Hi Tyrone, Yes, great isn't it. You can't do this on Girard Ave in the middle of the day. The large trucks drown out all the good sounds. Cheers, tassiebaz.

THANKS, TB! I have memories of my older cousin taking us to the zoo riding on this line...
@tassiebaz6 жыл бұрын
Hi MMendelG, Thanks for watching and for your comment. Back in the good old days, they ran extra Sunday service on Route 15, with trips between 41st & Girard and Richmond & Norris to accommodate the many riders going to the zoo. I'm working on a few more Route 15 presentations as well as other Philadelphia topics. Regards, tassiebaz.

Hi Tyrone, Thanks for watching and for your comment. I always enjoy photographing early in the morning to get a completely different perspective of what's happening. This is especially true on a street like Girard Avenue where, just a little later on, it is clogged with big trucks that significantly reduce the quality of the streetcar scenes. Stay well. Cheers, tassiebaz.

I would ride this line every day back in the early 80s and 90s. It was rough from 22nd and Gerard until 2nd and Gerard but after that it was safe. I didn't dare ride after dark. I lived just off of 25th and Popular on Parrish.

Hi Patrick, Thanks for watching and for your comment. Through some miracle, you can still ride trolleys on Girard Avenue just like you used to. Regards, tassiebaz.
