Car 2739 is one of the PCC trolleys SEPTA retired in the early '90s (some are still running after being rebuilt). This one is in pretty good shape despite the rust, so hopefully it will go on to good use either in Brooklyn or Lancaster. So funny to see a Philly PCC on Brownstoner... I grew up in Philadelphia and I love these cars!
Here's a website that gives a good background on trolleys in Philadelphia then and now: http://www.phillytrolley.com/
