SEPTA’s historic Route 15 trolleys are coming off the line, replaced with buses for at least a year

“It’s kind of the right moment for us to pull them in, take a look at them, rebuild things where needed, where necessary and to get those cars back on the line,” said Scott Sauer, SEPTA’s assistant general manager for operations.

Trolleys have been running on Girard Avenue for years in all kinds of weather. The cars themselves were built in the late 1940s and saw an overhaul in 2002.
