Six Abandoned Former Septa PCC Trolleys

Located off of Erie Ave in Philadelphia, these six trolleys have been stored since 1996. Completely exposed to the elements and vandalism, the PCCs are showing serious signs of neglect.

How did you get back there? I've wanted to see these for awhile.

Google Maps, and a bit of ingenuity....

The most difficult part was timing it when the trolleys weren't obstructed by parked cars.

The last time I ventured back there to try and see, there was a rather large dog on the premise which made me think that it might not be such a good idea.
