The Brill double-ended trolley is my favorite. PCC cars are okay, but they look too much like buses for my taste. Just my opinion.

My great-grandfather, William F. Willard (1874-1960), was a PRT conductor on these cars during their service era. He worked the #6 trolley line from Cheltenham & Ogontz Aves. to Willow Grove Park. In revenue service days, these cars had 2-man crews where the conductor took the money and the motorman operated the car itself.
PRT became PTC in 1940 and was subsequently taken over by SEPTA in 1968.
