View The 101 Trolley's 100-Year Birthday Suit
The Route 101 SEPTA trolley line that runs through Springfield turned 100 in April. Check out her vintage 'outfit' in honor of the milestone.
The Route 101 SEPTA trolley line from Upper Darby through Springfield to Media Borough turned 100 on April 1.
The 9-mile line first operated with riders in 1913 and is considered to be the last light rail running through the middle of a suburban main street in Maine.
The Route 101 centennial celebration includes the wrapping of one trolley car to look like the trolley did when it was first rolled out on the tracks by the Philadelphia and West Chester Traction Company on April 1, 1913, according to a SEPTA press release.
