Some people DO call the RiverLINE a trolley because it runs through the streets of Camden like a streetcar. Yep, PATCO and the RiverLINE are trolley lines to a lot of people, unfortunately.
In fact I've run across some people who refer to the PATCO High-speed line as a trolley ("Haddonfield-is that where you catch the trolley to Philly?"). BELEIVE IT!!
Haha. I recall one occasion where the Channel 6 news reported a trolley derailment at 69th St. and they showed a CTA car with its front truck off the track. So where was the trolley? Your efforts are to be commended, but we have a long uphill climb ahead of us. I would say at least 90% of the Rt. 100 riders and nearby residents call it a trolley.
And for all of you wanting the rt.100 to be a trolley ASSHOLES, Before Septa got the N5 Train cars, They not only Bought CTA El cars, and Retro fitted the trucks from PATH trains, also They used the Old El Budd cars!!! are they Trolleys?
Trust me. I am a Rt. 100 operator, and I really PISSED A BITCH when they put that trolley sign up. also I have to correct alot of passengers, when they come up to me and say, what time does this trolley leave! I say to them, what trolley?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? They changed the sign???? I hope you're right because like you said it ain't no trolley line. It was a bona-fide RAILROAD only until 1970.
i take the 100 on my way to get to philly to hop the atlantic city bus:)
