> Steve Barry organizes a SEPTA trolley charter on Superbowl eve each year. The 2010 Special was postponed twice because of snow. The 2011 Special was operated in the rain. Steve said it was the worst weather so far.
> The charter called for a PCC II out of Elmwood. The only PCC II at Elmwood early Saturday morning was in the shop, so Bill Monoghan brought 2324 to Elmwood from Callowhill.
> The charter endured a 40 minute hiatus on the Filbert Street diversion track waiting for a SEPTA truck to arrive and push a parked car closer to the curb.
>
> Kudos to Bill Monoghan and Ed Springer for operating another well-run streetcar charter, and to Steve for organizing it.
