My mother used to tell me that when I was just 2 years old I used to drag her down to the end of the block near Drexel Hill Jct. to watch the PCC-type St. Louies, Brilliners, and Master Unit-type "80" cars go by. I was always intrigued by the loud motor whine on the "80" cars especially.
On the first Trolley that was at Sharon Hill, That # was 107 and that was the # that me and my cousin was on when we where coming from my birthday party at Drexel Hill Junction, and we went bowling there.
The single-end version is also a foot narrower and 3 feet shorter than the double-end version. Also like Toronto the single-end cars still use trolley poles. Another interesting tidbit, they don't run any more two-car trains because by law at least one car has to be ADA-accessible. The only time you'll ever see a two-car train is if one car is disabled.

As a little kid, I spent many hours at the Beverly Hills station on Garrett Road, watching the trolleys come and go over the trestle.

Been on this...which would you say is better, the kawasaki double-end or the single-ended?

They really are both the same. Both made in early 1980's by Kawasaki in Japan, the only differences are the seats and the extra cab.
