simply kicking off the brakes will get the 150-ton car rolling. It will remain in op- eration for the foreseeable future, but a good cosmetic overhaul could approach seven figures and is not an immediate priority at the museum. Nonetheless, Independence Hall rolls


on. When it runs with its Upper Darby stablemate, Brill-built Bullet car No. 205, it brings back memories of the glory years of the Red Arrow Lines.


BELOW: Brill Bullet car No. 205 departs Meadow Street in Rockhill Furnace, passing a 1964 Ford Fairlane 500. Yes, that’s a modern San Diego trolley in the background, the latest acquisition by the museum. BOTTOM: David Brightbill is in his Ford as the two veteran Red Arrow interurban cars meet after dark near the museum’s Car Barn No. 2. Night photo lighting was provided for the event by Bruce Barry, Michael Burkhart and the author.
