Hi All,
My father in law has a convention in Philadelphia this coming week and is taking
our daughter, Karla. Though only seven, she is a veteran trolley rider.

There isn't much time for railfanning, but perhaps they may take a ride on the Red
Arrow Division (PTM has Red Arrow cars, is that okay, Derrick?) and perhaps a ride
on the 75 or 66 trackless trolley lines.
The latter is important since Las Vegas is discussing alternative fuel vehicles and
my inlaws are on a first name basis with some rather powerful movers and shakers in
the county government. I doubt that would result in any consideration for trolley
coaches, but who knows? Then again, some of the officials are impressed with the
new Salt Lake system, but they are still trying to cram a monorail system down our
throats.
My question: Which is a better ride from an enthusiast's point of view? Sharon Hill
or Media? Which trackless line? 66 or 75?
Please e-mail me privately. Thanks in advance. Ken J.
