Friends of Philadelphia Trolleys’ Super Bowl trip for this Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026 has been rescheduled to Sunday, March 15, 2026.

Because of ongoing weather concerns, SEPTA will not be allowing trolleys on Route 15 due to ongoing snow removal. Due to that, and concerns about the availability of parking around Callowhill Depot, we feel it is best to reschedule.

For those who had tickets and have not spoken to Bill Monaghan yet, please email him if you see this message and let him know if you are interested in attending on March 15: FPT2799@Comcast.Net

We will let you know if anything changes.

FYI to all, the picture with this post was taken Thursday, Feb. 5 on Chester Avenue in the city, and it gives a sense of how much snow is still on the streets and sidewalks. We are told Girard Avenue still has many areas that need snow removal.

Friends of Philadelphia Trolleys are trying to do our annual Super Bowl trip on February 7, 2026.

Because of ongoing overhead wire issues, however, SEPTA will let us know in early January if we will be able to hold the charter.

If SEPTA gives FPT approval to do the trip, we plan to request heritage livery Kawasaki LRV 9100 and cover parts of Routes 10 and 15. This trip would depart from SEPTA’s Callowhill Depot at 10 a.m., February 7.

Watch this space for updates.

The Friends of Philadelphia Trolleys invite you to join us on a charter in connection with the East Penn Traction Meet.  We will be using a SEPTA Kawasaki LRV on the Subway-surface lines. Snacks and beverages will be available for purchase on the trolley. To reserve a seat, please mail a check for $60.00 for each person, made out to FPT, Inc. to Harry Donahue, 103 Mulberry Court, Morgantown, PA 19543.
