Nope. There were no MFL Budds saved in operating condition, and there is likely nobody left qualified to operate the BSS Brills, even if they could be made roadworthy again.

It's a shame too, because I'd have loved another shot at riding the Brills one last time.

So typical...let things deteriorate to the point that there is no hope of saving it, then say "Oh, we've got to get rid of it!". I think they just dont want anyone except the poorest of poor riding. There is no care, no pride, no effort, no thought to this system at all.

Be it.....

A Brill
A Budd
A PCC
A RDC

break it, store it, trash it, cry about it. Then get rid of it. SEPTA, serious about nothing.
