Abandoned street car line on Old York Road In Logan
Route 6, the Ogontz Avenue line is a former streetcar line and is currently operated by bus . It is operated by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Athourity(SEPTA) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. It started from Olney Terminal of the Broad Street Subway running along wide on Ogontz avenue, using reserve median trackage on Limekiln Pike before running as a streetcar on Keswick Avenue. The line continues private right on Keswick avenue through Glenside ending the route to Philadelphia Transportation Company's (PTC) Amusement park in Willow Grove. The line was cut back to Cheltenham & Ogontz instead of Willow Grove amnusement park due to a reconstruction project. This only left tracks on Ogontz Avenue behind the City Line. PCC car #2134 was the last car to go to Willow Grove on Sunday June 8, 1958. The PTC Amusement Park was abandoned and had been turned into Willow Grove Park Mall. Route 22 bus replace the line from runs line and runs from Olney Transportation Center to Willow Grove and Warminster via Easton and Old York Roads. Route 6 saw its last car on January 11, 1986. Everyone from the SEPTA Board would to turn Route 6 into a desil bus line indicating how bleak would the future be for the North Philadelphia Trolley network. No plans are currently underway to restore route 6 into a light rail line nor route 22.
York Treasures - Part Three - USTTC and Bowser Urban Transit
First up is a streetcar (at least that's what I call it) by Bowser. I'm not sure about the make, because there are no identifying trademarks on the unit, so if it's not Bowser, let me know. I was drawn to it because it reminded me of the streetcars in Toronto when I was a kid in the fifties. That and the price of course.
Second was a real surprise. I discovered the United States Toy Train Company (USTTC) a couple of months ago when I picked up some boxed examples of their freight cars at a local train show. So of course I looked for some more at York. I also visited the National Toy Train Museum in Strasberg and picked up copies of the Train Collectors Quarterly with the two articles on the history and production of the company.
Wandering up and down the aisles in the Red Hall, I was attracted to a somewhat garish green colored transit car. When I turned it over, I was surprised to see that it was USTTC production. The price was right, so into my bag it went. When I reread the TCQ articles later, I was astonished to see that there were only two or three preproduction models known to exist. Well, since then I have been made aware of at least one other example in a collection in Australia (recently sold on eBay). Were more than the 2 or 3 claimed by the TCQ author actually made? I have no idea.
The car was made as a single unit - no add on carriages. And the Marx double reduction motor used by USTTC guarantees that it runs like a charm - in both directions. Let me know what you think.
Philadelphia in the early fifties
The city of Brotherly Love in the late forties, early fifties.
Featuring (wobbly footage) street trolleys, buses, the Reading Lines' Reading Train and Bus Terminal, trains, the port, RR ferry and Delaware River Bridge, a water plane landing on the river, M.S. Keystone State, the Frankford Elevated SUBWAY, PRT elevated train station with Line 14 train, various street scenes, vintage neon lights, cars, water planes moored on the river banks' seaplane ramp. Also featuring the Pennsylvania Rail Road Ferry Terminal on Market Street. During the 19th century, railroads linked the Atlantic with the Pacific coast. Trains from Philadelphia also ran north, south and east to towns and cities on the Atlantic shore. Steamships and ferries connected the city to New Jersey and Delaware. However, it was during the 1880s and 1890s that electrification of trolley cars, elevated and subway trains made rapid public transit possible in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas.
The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company.
In 1889, the Reading Railroad decided to build a train depot, passenger station, and company headquarters on the corner of 12th and Market Streets. The move came eight years after the Pennsylvania Railroad opened its Broad Street Station several blocks away at 15th and Market Streets, and one year after the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad opened its 24th Street Station at 24th and Chestnut Streets. The complex was fronted on Market by an eight-story headhouse that housed the passenger station and company headquarters. Reading Terminal served the railroad's inter-city and regional rail trains, many of which are still running as part of the SEPTA Regional Rail system that connects Center City with outlying neighborhoods and suburbs, especially to the north. Many of those trains would be converted to electric power in a project that began in 1928 and basically completed in 1933. Daily traffic peaked during World War II with up to 45,000 daily passengers, then declined in the 1950s with the advance of road and air travel. The Reading declared bankruptcy on November 23, 1971. The shed was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.
PRR Railroad Ferry to Camden
Yet because no bridge crossed the width of the Delaware between Philadelphia and Camden until 1926, ferries provided a vital connection for rail passengers bound for New York and points north. Beginning in the 1850s many companies, including the Camden and Atlantic (C&A) Railroad and the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), acquired ferries to augment their existing lines. In 1854, the C&A purchased the Cooper family’s operations and offered more frequent service between Camden and Philadelphia.
The ferries’ vehicle-carrying business was greatly reduced by the 1926 opening of the Delaware River Bridge, now called the Ben Franklin, but the boats kept steaming across the river. A major impact on ferry facilities and operations was also caused by the two railroads’ combining most of their South Jersey lines in 1933 into the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines. Trains on ex-Reading lines were rerouted to and from the Pennsylvania’s train and ferry terminal, and the Reading’s Kaighn’s Point terminal and ferry were abandoned in 1934. The last of the railroad-owned passenger and vehicle ferries which served our area, the Pennsylvania Railroad’s Philadelphia and Camden Ferry, was in itself a colorful transportation system. The boats on this line were sturdy vessels with steel hulls and upper structures and basically painted in the same Tuscan red color scheme as the passenger train cars of both the Pennsy and the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines. The name “Pennsylvania Railroad” and the boats’ individual names were emblazoned in gold letters on their sides. The names of the vessels were also lettered in gold on gold-bordered black signs on their pilot houses – one facing Camden, the other facing Philadelphia. The Pennsy’s logo, a bright red keystone in a circle with intertwined gold letters, PRR, was flamboyantly displayed on both sides of each boat’s black smokestack. The ferry service was discontinued in 1952 and, by 1957, the terminal had been torn down. PRR passenger ferries were named after Southern New Jersey towns such as Bridgeton, Ventnor and Haddonfield. Time to cross the Delaware river was less than eight minutes.
I have dated this footage ''late 40s early 50s''. Your help is welcome to date this video in a more accurate manner, my own timestamp referrals are:
-Route (or Line) number 5 (3.09min) was abandoned in 1955.
-The ferry service was discontinued in 1952 (and, by 1957, the terminal had been torn down).
With the Ferry still in service, this is 1952 at the max.
FORD MOTOR CO. BIG RED EXPERIMENTAL GAS TURBINE SEMI TRUCK 1964 NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR XD10344

This film from Ford shows the company's experimental gas turbine semi truck, known as Big Red. It dates to approximately 1965. The film starts out with shots of the Cabana Motel in Atlanta before showing a map of the nation's new interstate highway system. At :54 a superhighway is shown with its many interchanges. When this network is completed, true long-range hauling at sustained speeds with all city traffic bypassed...will become a practical idea for the first time. At 1:30 the standard cargo hauler of the era, a Ford diesel truck, is shown. The truck for the future is then unveiled at 1:56, the Big Red. At 2:39 the truck is shown at the New York World's Fair where it was on display. At 2:52 it is shown at an auto show. At 3:10 the cab of the truck is shown backing into its trailer. At 3:30 an early Ford turbine is shown. At 3:42 the Ford turbine laboratory is shown with a mainframe type computer in operation. At 4:00 the experimental 705 engine is shown. At 4:12 the futuristic cab of the truck is shown off with its refrigerator, toilet, sleeping area, television set and more amenities. Sitting eight feet above the highway behind a free-standing control console, the driver had unlimited visibility.
Ford's advanced experimental “Big Red” truck represented a massive R&D effort by Ford. A major catalyst for the project was the potential for lucrative military gas turbine engine contracts unrelated to heavy trucks. “Big Red” made its public debut at the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. After the fair, “Big Red” toured the United States and Canada with stops in Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Los Angeles, Newark, Philadelphia, Oklahoma City, Toronto and Washington DC. The truck then made several cross-country test runs at costs comparable to diesel operation. Ford executive vice president Charles H. Patterson said “This truck is a concept vehicle from our product research office. It is a test-bed in which advanced engineering ideas are proved out in actual over-the-road operation”.
Ford envisioned huge double-trailer combinations like the “Big Red” concept which would travel 24/7 for maximum operating economy, rarely leaving the interstates except for driver changes, switching trailers and refueling.
Test drivers reported that the turbine power-plant was virtually noiseless, and produced an odorless, non-toxic exhaust (which was safely vented 14 feet above traffic). Years before brake regulations were created for heavy trucks, “Big Red” was built with three redundant brake systems. The brakes would pulse-lock automatically if the air pressure dropped below minimal levels.

The 10 BEST STATES in AMERICA for 2020
Which states are better than you? These are.
Okay so to compile this list of the best states, I used two key metrics - one half was weighted by factors such as crime, cost of living and local economies and the OTHER half was taken by polling Americans on where THEY would want to live and which states have the most state pride.
Then I gave the answers to our little trolley friend here, and he’s gonna tell us the unbiased winners.
10. Maryland
So what’s so great about Maryland? Well, besides having a really pretty coastline, its residents are the wealthiest in the nation, and property values are the 7th highest in the country.
And, 40% of people here have a college degree here. While that certainly does NOT mean it’s a great place to live, it shows that folks here are responsible, can prioritize, are organized, and can meet deadlines.
9. Montana
Numbers wise, this certainly isn’t the richest place we’ll talk about, where average incomes for a family of four are about $56,000, which is a little below the national average. Homes cost about $230,000, which isn’t bad. And Montana has what’s been called the fairest tax system in the USA, where there are no sales taxes, property taxes are far below average, and the rich pay more than the poor.
8. Iowa
Here in Iowa, the economy is doing quite well, thank you very much. The Hawkeye State has the nation’s third lowest unemployment rate at a very attractive 2.6%. That’s like nobody. Now, you might not be working at a big ol fancy bank or be rollin in the dough as some hotshot executive if you lived here, but you’d be comfy.
7. Vermont
You know what’s mostly great about Vermont? The peace and quiet is. It’s the third safest state in all the land, and the second least violent of all. There were no murders reported among Vermont’s safest cities, and only three cities had any sort of theft or arson. Plus, half the safest cities reported zero robberies.
6. Minnesota
Minnesota is movin on up, up from our 7th spot last year. Why? Well, Minnesota has a pretty great economy, actually, to start. In fact, the state of Minnesota recently issued this creed:
-First in Fortune 500 companies per capita
-Second strongest state in the nation. I think they mean strongest economy, not brute strength
-Third best state to live. We say 6th but okay.
-Third in business startups, 7th overall for businesses, 10th in private companies.
5-1. Watch the rest!
This channel talks about America, different states, education, travel, geography and what it's like to live in different places in America.

1950s AMERiCAN NORTHEAST MAINE MASSACHUSETTS NEW YORK NEW HAMPSHIRE 54144
This color 1956 Encyclopedia Brittanica educational film touts the Northeastern United States, “first gateway to the continent” and “threshold to the nation’s interior for millions of immigrants.” The film uses an illustration at mark 00:30 to detail some of the region’s natural features such as the Appalachian Mountains and the many rivers and valleys cutting through such states as Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New York. It identifies the Northeastern States and discusses the first European settlers in the area (mark 01:33) before noting the current population — said to be a third of the country’s total population. Agriculture is crucial to the region’s success, we’re told at mark 02:30, as is fishing along the coastal states (mark 03:15). Limestone, granite, and marble also are essential to the states’ success, as the film shows slabs being hoisted about, as is coal. At mark 05:00 the film explains how New England’s wool industry helps supply a national market as machines are shown spinning wool fiber into thread and then other materials. New York City is touted as a “fashion center” for the nation at mark 05:40 as we see high-end boutiques before moving on to show factory in Boston. The Northeastern United States leads the nation in steel production, it’s said at mark 06:15, and we see scenes from a Pennsylvania steel mill. There are also scenes from port cities such as Baltimore, Boston, New York, and Philadelphia as a variety of goods are shown being loaded and unloaded in shipyards, plus images from rail yards and airports as the narrator explains the importance of those industries. The film concludes with images of the area’s natural beauty including Niagara Falls (mark 08:20) and some of the autumnal colors, in addition to tourist destinations such as Atlantic City’s Boardwalk.

THAT'S A LOT - DELALLO'S
The George DeLallo Company was founded with the ideals of offering true authentic Italian foods with integrity and consistency. In the mid-1940s, Mr. George DeLallo began selling Italian grocery items door-to-door in the immigrant neighborhoods of Western Pennsylvania. In 1954, he and his wife Madeline established a grocery store in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, which specialized in authentic Italian foods. Soon after, they began to develop and sell traditional Italian products under the DeLallo name. CHECK OUT THE STORY - part of WQED's That's A Lot program!

Rolling stock in the film is from the Pennsylvania Railroad, Johnstown Traction Company, Bethlehem Steel -- Johnstown Works, and the Conemaugh & Black Lick Railroad, owned by Bethlehem Steel.
Johnstown Traction Company (JTC) was a public transit system in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, United States. For most of its existence it was primarily a street-railway system, but in later years also operated rubber-tired vehicles. JTC operated trolley (tram) service in Johnstown from February 23, 1910 to June 11, 1960. Johnstown was one of the last small cities to abandon trolley service in the United States. It was also the smallest city to acquire a fleet of PCC cars and acquired trackless trolleys at a late date compared to larger transit properties. Many of the 1920s-era cars went directly to museums; however, none of the 17 PCC streetcars were saved. Efforts to sell the 16 then-surviving PCC cars intact were unsuccessful, and in 1962 they were scrapped, but many of their components were salvaged and sold to the Brussels, Belgium tram system, reused in the last series of single PCC trams (7156–7171), which ran from 1970 until February 2010.
JTC's system also included electric trolley buses, the first route of which was opened on November 20, 1951. Trolley bus service continued until 1967, the last day of electric service being November 11, 1967.[3] The transit system then used only motor buses, but retained the name Johnstown Traction Company (in which traction is a reference to electric vehicle propulsion). In 1976, the private JTC would become the CamTran public transit system.

Rockhill Trolley Museum: Classic Trolleys in Central Pennsylvania
Despite the almost seven year hiatus of its next-door neighbor, the Rockhill Trolley Museum in Rockhill Furnace, PA still offers rides on a former branch of the East Broad Top. Meant to be the Eastie's lucrative connection to the proposed South Pennsylvania Railroad, the Shade Gap Branch ran from Rockhill Furnace East to Shade Gap and the proposed connection at Neelyton. Though the South Pennsylvania was never built, the Shade Gap Branch did in fact pay for itself in the late 1930's when the construction of the Pennsylvania Turnpike began on the grade. By 1948, the line was cut back to a mere spur ending at route 522 near Blacklog, the current terminating point, occasionaly used for loading ties. With the revival of steam in 1960, the Shade Gap trackage was restored in dual gauge to allow for the operation of standard gauge trolleys, and has remained in operation since. In this video we will be following NJT PCC 6, Johnstown Traction Company 311, and the museum's newest addition, Siemens U2 LRV 1019 from San Diego as they traverse the valley formed by the Blacklog Creek.

From Wikipedia:
Hershey’s Chocolate World is the name of eight visitor centers that started in Hershey, Pennsylvania, United States.
Open year-round, Hershey's Chocolate World offers marketplace shops and restaurants, specializing in Hershey's chocolate products. Attractions include Hershey's Great Chocolate Factory Mystery in 4D, the Hershey Trolley Works, Create Your Own Candy Bar, and a free Chocolate Tour ride.
The first Hershey's Chocolate World is located off of Hersheypark Drive, in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and is in an entertainment complex that also includes Hersheypark, Hersheypark Stadium, Hersheypark Arena, Hershey Museum, and Giant Center. The Las Vegas location is where the Broadway Theatre used to be.
Although Hersheypark and Chocolate World are in the same complex, both operate independently of each other. Chocolate World is owned by The Hershey Company (formerly Hershey Foods), while Hersheypark is owned by Hershey Entertainment and Resorts Company (HE&R). However, the Hershey Company and HE&R are both owned by the Hershey Trust Company.
Parking is available via a separate lot that is free for the first three hours only, or via the Hersheypark parking lot (when the park is open), which offers a tram service to and from Hershey's Chocolate World. While the facility is open year-round (except Christmas), hours vary depending on the season, ranging anywhere from 9 am to 11 pm.

Heritage Trams in Philadelphia - PCC IIs!! - with the SNOW!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Route 15 is a heritage streetcar line, operated by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), along Girard Avenue through North and West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. As of 2007[update], it is the only surface trolley line in the City Transit Division that is not part of the Subway--Surface Trolley Lines. PCC streetcars are used on the line.
-
Service was suspended (replaced with buses) in 1992, along with Route 23 (Germantown Avenue-11th and 12th Streets) and Route 56 (Wayne-Erie Avenues). On September 4, 2005, trolley service was restored.

The 15 line returned to trolley service in September 2005 after having been served by buses for thirteen years. To prepare for the resumption of trolley service, SEPTA spent a total of $100 million, including rehabilitating the tracks and repairs to the overhead wires. The rolling stock for Route 15 consists of PCC II cars, which are 1947 PCC streetcars that had been completely rebuilt by the Brookville Equipment Company as a cost of $1.3 million per trolley. The rebuilt trolley includes the addition of air conditioning and regenerative braking, as well as a widened center door with a wheelchair lift for ADA compliance
