The occasion was to take farewell rides on one or more of the Southeastern Transit Authority’s historic PCC II cars on its #15 Girard Avenue line. The “farewell” was because the line would be temporarily suspended to bus service, effective After boarding Bill’s car #9043, the group rode out to Sunday, January 26, 2020.

According to a local newspaper in December 1948, Martha Kashner, of West Girard Avenue in Philadelphia, was a Philadelphia Transportation Company trolley operator and conductor who loved decorating her car for the Christmas Holidays. She started her “tradition” in 1944 and in addition to the decorations, she would hand out candy canes to the children who rode with her. Here are a few pictures of Mrs. Kashner and her handiwork.

Two major milestones were reached on the project this A few additional items not related to the original project winter. On February 22, 2020, the final sanding and scope have recently been completed as well, again thanks to great weather as well as great volunteer support. The leaking drain valve from the lower air tank has been replaced, substantially reducing air loss and reducing compressor cycle time. All four truck side frames have been cleaned of loose rust and deterioration and prepared for priming and repainting, with the first side frame primed as well. Sections of deteriorated roof boards have been replaced, allowing the remounting of the second trolley pole. The roof cleats and boards will need complete replacement in the next few years, but these interim repairs will extend the life of the existing components. Finally, both roof- mounted bells have had their long-broken ropes replaced and are again functional.

These nine recent work sessions have been supported by Ed Amrhein, Mike Barron, Rob Catlin, Harry Donahue, Mike Lawson, Bill Monaghan, George Rich, Logan Tracy, Andrew Nawn and Jerry Sateriale. Matthew W. Nawn is the Eagle Scout Project Coach, and Matthew E. Nawn is the Project Manager. The project still continues to be strongly supported,

The Streamliner Page 5. Winter 2020 in 1995. After Winterfest in 2009, PTM provided Line Car 2 to NYMT. While the car has been most useful in serving as a headquarters for NYMT’s overhead construction and maintenance department, it had seen little real care over the following decade except for placement on former Lake Shore Electric Railway freight trailer car trucks, also provided by PTM.

The lack of maintenance is being changed, as shown in the accompanying photo. During the summer of 2019, a car painting program was launched. The main thrust of the program is to improve the appearance of the car, which serves as the “billboard car” for NYMT. While at PTM, the car was painted red to match the work car color of Pittsburgh Railways Company but, in its decade at NYMT, the red has peeled and faded. A few flakes of the latter-day PTC green were found on the car, and an acceptable color match was obtained. This pleasant tone of moderate light green is in contrast to the somber medium dark green which graced Philadelphia work cars into the 1960s and was financially, by a number of generous and consistent considered to be a better “first impression” for visitors. donors of the Baltimore Streetcar Museum and the But before any painting could be done, the siding Friends of Philadelphia Trolleys. needed a lot of restoration work.

Line Car 2, former Philadelphia snow sweeper C-125, was remodeled by Pennsylvania Trolley Museum as a line car after its acquisition from SEPTA in 1974. It served PTM well for decades but became redundant when Pittsburgh Line Car M-210 was acquired by PTM

Someday, though, since Line Car 2 retains all its electrical and air equipment, it may be practical to set the car on motorized trucks and operate it on the NYMT Railway. For this reason, any of the work now underway will not preclude the possibility of returning the car to operation in the future.

s you know, there are many historically important trolley cars from the Philadelphia area in need of restoration. One of these valued cars is PTC snowsweeper C-145, which was built in 1923 and is currently stored outside at the Baltimore Streetcar Museum. During C-145’s time outside, the exterior paint has suffered from fading, graffiti, severe chipping and flaking. Additionally, a certain amount of the poplar wood panels have rotted from exposure to the elements.

In order to restore PTC C-145’s exterior to an attractive appearance, Friends of Philadelphia Trolleys member, Matthew E. Nawn, is undertaking the painting and refinishing of C-145’s exterior as his Eagle Scout project. This project’s completion will not be possible without your support. The woodworking is being done by a master carpenter who has offered to donate his services, while the painting is being done by volunteers under his direction. He currently estimates that the project will last into late spring, with six to eight hour work sessions, at least twice a month (or more, if necessary) at the Baltimore Streetcar Museum.

The car will be moved inside during the project as needed. After completion of the restoration work, the car is slated to be stored out of the weather to prevent the exterior from once again being damaged by the elements. The project requires continuing funding through donations. Please consider making a donation by using the form below. Thank you in advance for helping preserve a part of Philadelphia’s history.
