Some of you may be interested in the auction flyer for this Philadelphia traction "museum" Circa 1940s. It was auctioned in 1946.

The line was a true rolling museum, with all original cars, mostly open. It ran in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park, then and now the largest city Park in the US. It was not part of the city system, but connected with the PRT cars. The line was abandoned in 1946 and the equipment auctioned. No cars were preserved. The inevitable amusement park was Woodside Park in West Philadelphia, also gone. Harold Cox did a book on the FPT a number of years ago.
