ROUTE 101 and 102 TROLLEY LINES
Philadelphia PA

SEPTA Homepage
The 101 and 102 routes are collectively known as the Media-Sharon Hill Lines because of their destinations, something SEPTA recently went to with the naming of the commuter rail lines in the fall of 2010.
The Kawasaki K-cars used on these lines were delivered in the 1981-1982 timeframe, and there are around 29 of them in use on these two lines. They are considered LRV's, but remind you more of an updated PCC car when you ride them.
A couple of other interesting notes:
These two lines use pantographs on the cars instead of
the more traditional trolley poles used on the Surface Subway lines!
The cars are double ended.
