SEPTA (SouthEastPennsylvaniaTransportationAuthority) PCC III rumbles down Girard Avenue in Philadelphia PA. Route 15 "Girard" is the only route still using the classic President's Conference Committee style of streetcar in the 'City of Brotherly Love'.
The current model is a upgrade from the PCC II modified by Brookville in 2003 from former PCCs manufactured by the St Louis Car Company. This PCC III was rebuilt by SEPTA and made its debut on June 16, 2024. Rebuilding of the rest of the fleet is underway. Right now, there aren't enough of the rebuilt trolleys to cover the schedule, so buses are interspersed with the trolley fleet.
