BRO WHERE DID YOU GET THIS

Can I plz buy this from you

Very interesting. I've lived relatively close to West Chester Pike for most of my life, and my mother also grew up in the Delco area. From what she told me, my grandmother and her would sometimes take the Red Arrow trolley into Philadelphia, either to visit relatives who still lived in the city or to go shopping.

I need this so bad

Please tell me what is that thing!

I want this thing so bad!

I was 5 when we moved to Westtown in 1956 before West Chester Pike became 4 lanes. Still remember small sections of old trolley track that remained along the old pike. Thanks for this movie clip. Loved growing up in the West Chester area back then.

May I ask what is this called?

I've seen one of these before at a local Chuck E. Cheese!

Ther goes the 1922 Market Frankford subway trains that except for the shape of the roof and door placements, they looked liked NYC IRT division subway trains that are now numbered 1 thru 7.

One of my earliest memories was my mom taking my brother and I into 69th Street to shop. We lived on Ellis Ave in Newtown Square, and there was a stop at Ellis and West Chester Pike. What memories this video brings back. Thank you for posting.

I don't recognize West Chester Pike. I do remember the trolley going down WCP in the center of the roadway. Great video!!!

This is awesome! Wish I could have ridden this amazing line.

I remember being able to catch the trolly on W Chester Pike from Media line to 69th street, shopping with my mom and dad in 69th street

Thanks for the memories!

I have three

Where can you get this

Grew up in Newtown Square. I remember the old Castle Rock station was still in existence west of town. It was just a small shelter with some benches.

Were did you get that from

Chuck e cheese

I love this disco light i have one similar. Do u have any idea how many watts this light is? Thank you

As a kid, I remember and was amazed by those St. Louis streamlined cars having outstanding acceleration and deceleration characteristics, watching them sprint in and out of station stops. Seems like they were smoother riding and faster than the current Kawasaki units. Loved the Maroon and Cream.

Thanks to all for enjoying the video.

Much of the Rt 104 Bus follows some of the original right of way.

Until today I had only seen still photos of West Chester Pike before it was converted to four lanes and the tracks removed. This is INCREDIBLE footage!!!!!! Thank you so much for posting this - I learned a lot!

Great video! I spent many nights trying to orient myself on the new West Chester Pike to attempt a recreated "now and then" from pictures taken by many others in my video: ua-cam.com/video/fATzUm8zFYQ/v-deo.html - if I would have had this video, perhaps I could have edited some of the stabilized video from yours. Really nice find.

..as a child I lived in Aldan, on the Sharon Hill Line, and I remember riding the Brill Center Entrance cars ( built about 1913), the Brill Master Units, and both the butt-ugly Brill 'toasters' and the highly advanced St Louis quasi PCC units. The St. Louis cars were introduced in 1949 and were easily capable of seventy miles-perhour..great memories of hauling-ass toward West Chester, just for the ride. The new Kung-Pow-Chop-Suey Japanese slug replacements have zero character, and I am lucky to have been in the right place, and right time period, to be able to look into the past with a smile.

6:40 - THIS explains why these St. Louis-built cars are NOT classified as PCC's. Conventional trucks instead of Clark B-2 or B-3's.

This video is mind-blowing!! The Red Arrow Lines operating pretty-much, in the "country" and so close to the roadways. I understand that, despite the exposure and proximity to motor vehicles at rather high speeds, the Red Arrow had a very good safety record. I was used to seeing single-ended PCCs on the PTC. During my second ride (at age 4) on the Market-Frankford line to 69th Street, i got my first look at these weird (and totally cool) trolleys with two fronts and no rear! I was captivated. This video is one of the best things I have ever seen on UA-cam!! Thank you sooo much for sharing this!

Where were the double-track private right-of-way sections shown in the first 10 minutes or so? Were they on the West Chester line?

The West Chester and Ardmore routes were abandoned ca 1954 due to the widening of West Chester Pike.

The Red Arrows Line operated two routes until about 1949; the routes split exiting the 69th street terminal,one operated parallel to old West Chester Pike and the second headed toward Media, splitting at Drexel Park, I believe, for Sharon Hill; as a kid I was fortunate to be able to ride all of these including the 'newer' 1949 St Louis cars, the Brill 'toasters' and master-units, and the old center-entrance cars. Half the fun of going anywhere was the ride. I remember when they closed the West Chester line to expand the road. Even then it was a sad day.

This video is better than anything I've seen for sale.

How cool Grandmom waved to me today !!

can someone post song END OF THE LINE by traveling wilburys to video ??

This looks like it might have been 16 mm Kodacolor film stock, probably transferred to VHS tape, and later digitized, with the effects of aging all along the way. I have family film clips from the late 1930s and 40s which didn't fare much better. Really too bad we don't have the sound, but it's still great to watch this historic run unfold.

Never rode that line, and I'm mad I did not.

Some of the scenes in this video are beautiful. I can just imagine how much better they would be if they could be fully restored (if that's the right word). Good eye by the person taking the film.

That was sweet!

That was awesome! You travel alot. Hit me up the next time you do somthing fun!! Dam!! Keep her steady too next time.

Wooohoooooo NASCAR here she comes!!!
