 This trolley destined to arrive at Aldan is leaving 69th street terminal in Upper Darby, but note the bus in this pic, which suspiciously reminds me of the school buses that Red Arrow supplied us Aldanites.

Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Co.
Brilliner 5 (Brill 1941) [SHARON HILL], Red Arrow Lines at Woodlawn & Providence Rd in Aldan. August, 1966
 "Myth says that on hot summer nights when this trolley ventured to the next stop down Woodlawn avenue to the tennis courts, it would stop to pick up a lone passenger.  When the trolley would stop somehow the pole would magically remove itself from the wire and water balloons would also magically enter the open windows.  Then the lone passenger would magically disappear into the night, never ever to be found."

Here is a link to much trolley information and nostalgic trolley pictures!
