PTM 89 (1)
Title:  PTM 89 (1)
Description:  Pennsylvania Trolley Museum GE 25 tonner built in May 1953. It has been regauged tp 5' 2.5" to allow it to do switching of the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum's equipment. Also a plow on each end has been added for snow removal. The GE 733 motor has been replaced by a Cummins diesel. I am hoping to find the serial number of this eventually to link it with its history which is a little foggy.

PTT 1311 (1)
Title:  PTT 1311 (1)
Description:  Pennsylvania Transformer Technologies Porter 43 tonner. Originally built for the US Navy in 1942. Acquired by PTT in 1956 when it was declared surplus. It had a long career with that company until 1990 when it was placed in storage. It arrived at the trolley museum in 2002 after a long restoration. Features twin Cummins 150hp diesel engines. Built for power rather than speed, it could only go 20 mph tops. This remains in operating condition and is used to move around the standard gauge rolling stock owned by the museum.

Title:  Red Arrow Lines 66 (1)
Description:  Red Arrow Lines 66 passing the 151 signal on the rails of the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum. This car was built in 1926 by the J.G. Brill Company and served Philadelphia and West Chester and successor, Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Company, for over 40 years. But when PSTC became part of SEPTA in 1970, this was declared to be surplus. That is when the Pennsylvania Trolley Musuem acquired it and a five year restoration began. By 1975 it was back to its 1949 period look, and ready for service.

A vintage imported trolley owned by the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum passes by a small pond next to their propertx in Arden, PA. Somehow I was able to frame this moving trolley between the two poles just at the right time. I bet that won't ever happen again.

It had a long life in South America until the 1960's when many of these similar models were sold to various organizations in the USA. After going through thuee different owners in this country, it was bought by the museum at auction in 2006.
