The Subway – Philadelphia’s Broad Street Line Part 2
Thursday, June 4, 2026 – 7 PM ET – Presented by Bob Wright
REGISTER HERE
The second part of this presentation on the Subway will start shortly after the SEPTA takeover of the operations with its purchase of the Philadelphia Transportation Company (PTC) and will follow the issues related to the aging fleet, the addition of the former Bridge Line cars to enhance service, the (finally!) extension to the Sports Complex, the near-collapse of service related to car failures, the introduction of the B-IV cars and retirement of the original fleet, and related operational changes.
 
This program will be recorded and available at a later date on the PTM YouTube channel.
 
Trolleyology presentations will continue on a regular or semi-regular basis. Interested in presenting? Email Kristen at kfred@patrolley.org! We’re specifically looking for programs related to the Trolley Era in general, Pennsylvania transit history, or stories about our collection. Please join our e-mail list to stay up-to-date with program announcements and other PTM news!
