PCC on I-95

As I was traveling to work today toward Newark, DE I passed a lowboy trailer with a PCC trolley as a load. I think it was a former SEPTA car, but I couldn't get a good look. Anyone have any info?-Alan Levy

My first guess would have been the Brooklyn Navy Yard PCC's, but someone talked with the director's secretary who said all 11 PCC cars and the locomotive were "crushed" and sent to a salvager. She said she didn't know the name of the company.

It's Philadelphia PCC #2732, formerly a member of SEPTA's historic fleet which was auctioned off last month. It's being moved to Glen Echo Park near Washington D.C.; the Park Service is planning to set it up as a display at the entrance to the park to commemorate the fact that Capital Transit used to have a line to Glen Echo.Ain't the internet grand? :-)
