These programs feature Pennsylvania transit history topics and tales of our collection that you can experience from home. Registration is required but free of charge. Donations are welcome and encouraged. \n  \nElectric Cars in the Electric City\nNovember 20\, 2024 – 7 PM ET – Presented by George Gula \n\nREGISTER HERE \n  \nScranton’s first horsecar operation was chartered in 1865\, and the nation’s first successful electric streetcar operation began on November 29\, 1886. By 1900\, Scranton Railway Company served Pennsylvania’s 3rd largest city with almost 100 miles of track. This program from PTM volunteer George Gula covers the development of the system from the earliest horsecar days to the end of service on December 18\, 1954. \n  \nThis program will be recorded and available at a later date on the PTM YouTube channel. \n  \nTrolleyology presentations will continue on a regular or semi-regular basis. Interested in presenting? Email Kristen at kfred@patrolley.org!

SUMMARY:Trolleyology: A Century+ of Philadelphia Trackless Trolleys (The PRT/PTC Years)
DESCRIPTION:Join PTM staff\, volunteers\, and members for our Zoom series\, Trolleyology! These programs feature Pennsylvania transit history topics and tales of our collection that you can experience from home. Registration is required but free of charge. Donations are welcome and encouraged. \n  \nA Century+ of Philadelphia Trackless Trolleys (The PRT/PTC Years)\nFebruary 25\, 2025 – 7 PM ET – Presented by Bob Wright \n\nREGISTER HERE \n  \nThe Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company (PRT) began a trial of trackless trolleys in 1923\, instituting new Route 80 across South Philadelphia that was operated with a small fleet of very basic coaches.  This would not be the first trackless operation in the United States\, with service in Staten Island and a handful of small communities being started before this\, but it would become the longest lasting.  The Philadelphia Transportation Company (PTC)\, which succeeded PRT in 1940\, doubled the number of trackless routes in the city with conversion of a busy streetcar route\, and several more were implemented post-World War II.  This presentation will cover the trackless operation through PRT and PTC up until the system’s takeover by SEPTA in 1968. Watch Bob’s first presentation (1968-present) here! \n  \nThis program will be recorded and available at a later date on the PTM YouTube channel. \n  \nTrolleyology presentations will continue on a regular or semi-regular basis. Interested in presenting? Email Kristen at kfred@patrolley.org! We’re specifically looking for programs related to the Trolley Era in general\, Pennsylvania transit history\, or stories about our collection. Please join our e-mail list to stay up-to-date with program announcements and other PTM news! \n*For the best experience\, we recommend downloading Zoom in advance. \nNOTE: This is a virtual event
