Was traveling through PA on Rt. 80 West last Sunday, I passed exit 81 (Hazen PA) right by Brookville PA. To my right at practically the intersection of the highway exit ramp and Rt. 28 there was a garage type building and lot with what appeared to be at least 15 Septa Trolley looking cars all lined up next to each other. Was wondering if anyone knows about these? There is no RR anywhere near here and this is pretty far from Philly. You can use a google map of the area and walk the "little map guy" to where I mentioned above and you can see the cars plain as day in the back of the lot. I found this very interesting! Thanks.

Brookville Equipment ( http://brookvilleequipment.com/ ) is located in Brookville and has done a lot of refurbs/rebuilds of SEPTA cars, like these: http://phillytrolley.org/brookville-index.html

I would imagine that the cars you saw are somehow associated with Brookville Equipment.
