Sister car No. 164 has just been purchased by the Electric City Trolley Msueum in Scranton, PA. It was previously the "Red Rocket" at the East Troy RR Museum. Hope it enjoys it's new home.
Beleive it or not the orange/red paint scheme that No. 161 is wearing was the exact paint scheme that SEPTA painted their two ex-P&W work motors, Nos. 401-402, both of which are preserved in PA trolley museums.
BTW: If you saw a photo of these cars in their original configuration I will guarantee you that nobody would have called them trolleys. Though they did have trolley poles and vestibule steps, they also had high-mounted headlights and bulkhead doors like subway-elevated cars.
