Sparks From Over Head Wires Cause Delaware Water Gap Trolley to Burn Up |
|
|
Posted by heypaul on Sat Aug 23 21:32:34 2014 A fire consumed a Delaware Water Gap trolley when sparks from the overhead wire landed on the wooden roof of the car. Firefighters were unable to contain the fire as there was no water in the Water Gap.Trolley Gets Zapped at the Gap |

Used to pass by the yard where that bus sits on my way to work, years back.That's why I posted this postcard, earlier. |

Three's a company down in Texas that builds them on basically a truck body. Albany used to have one, there's several in Providence. They're pretty much all over the place. |

Even worse than that are the downtown "trolleys" in St Louis. They are merely regular buses with a trolley car image shrink wrapped on the bus body. |

Three's a company down in Texas that builds them on basically a truck body. Albany used to have one, there's several in Providence. They're pretty much all over the place.Providence's were built by Chance Coach and later Optima Bus in Wichita, KS. Those are retired; the replacements are Gillig low floors retrofitted by Cable Car Classics in California. I believe the ones at CDTA were built by Molly Trolley of Wells, Maine. |

OK, now that we've all figured out this was a bus impersonating a trolley, did sparks from an overhead wire ever cause a fire while a real streetcar was in service?--mark |
