With a maximum speed of 92 mph (and a modified version hitting 100 mph), these "Bullets" ran the Norristown line near Philadelphia at 85 mph in service way back in the 30's and on through to 1990. 'Course, back then they received their power through a third rail. The trolley pole was added by the Rockhill Trolley Museum though the Fonda, Johnstown and Gloversville Railroad in NY ran them with trolley poles as well.
Very nicely captured, Bub!
