I agree that the lighting isn't perfect at a first look, but now I think it kind of adds to the atmosphere. Nice photo for certain.

Thanks Randy and veloopity, I beleive these trolleys were built in the 1940's (don't quote me though) and at one time there were hundreds of these in Philadelphia. In the 80's most were taken out of service and destroyed and replaced with diesel buses. In the late 90's they refurbished a very small fleet ( 10 or so ) to run as a nostalgic thing on Girard ave.
