Nostalgia & History > More of Red Arrow Norristown Line Cars

These photos were all taken on a fan trip on September 28, 1968.  The fan trip was on two Stafford Cars.  The Brill Bullets you see are all on their normal Saturday runs.

The wood covers over the 3rd rail are really deteriorated in that last photo. My Dad lived in that immediate area when he was a kid in the Thirties and told me they used to walk on the wood covers! Sometime, probably in the Seventies, SEPTA or whoever ran the line then, replaced the wood with fiberglass panels. Still there today.
