Flyer 5300 resting at Garage have been touched up here and there. This is an indication that Flyers might be around longer than originally anticipated. It is unclear what the future of 5265 was. Photo by Matt Lee, FE 2005.

The 'roar of the four.' Taken in the late '30s, Market Street was busy and very interesting. This situation lasted until about 1947, when streetcar lines were being diseaselized and some cases later electrified. Today there are four tracks of trolleybus overhead, but it just doesn't come to the 'roar of the four' days. Photographer unknown.

Twin Coach 597 at the Fourth and Townsend terminal. Photographer unknown. 6 FE 1968.
