Philadelphia Trolley Tracks:

The 1980 Kawasaki trolleys

9095 at 10th & Reed & Passyunk Avenue

A Kawasaki LRV makes a rare appearance on Route 23 rails in December 1997. The location is Passyunk Avenue at Reed Street in South Philadelphia. For several seasons, a mix of PCC cars and Kawasaki cars provided weekend-only "Holiday Trolley" service in center city. Unfortunately, around 2005 SEPTA management removed key pieces of Route 23's infrastructure, making this service impossible.
