There's a lot of West Philly scenes (52nd st, 55th & Market) as well as inside Reading Terminal & around it in '71-'72 in the movie "Trick Baby". "The In Crowd" has scenes of Upper Darby/The Tower and scenes shot around the area (Allen Lane Station, University City & a high school in Montgomery County).

It's 43 years ago, but I remember this and that they used one of the old PCC trolleys in the film. That was an ex-Kansas City car that were bought second hand in 1954. That car has long since been junked and scrapped.

At the time that “Blowout” was filmed, SEPTA was still using the St Louis PCC cars extensively until into the early 90s. These “Subway Surface” cars as they were known, and still are, originated in West, Southwest Philly, and Darby. It wasn’t until around 1982 that I started to see the replacement Kawasaki cars. SEPTA has been using completely refurbished and air conditioned PCC cars on the route 15 Girard Avenue line. Thank you for your comment.

Thanks for the travel back in time. In someways, the city is losing its historic appeal. Haven’t been in the city for over seven years. Again, thanks for the video. Happy New Year. 😊🇺🇸

Hi, how did you find out that 15th st trolley stood in for 30th?

Good question. The REAL 30th street trolley station looks nothing like the one shown in the movie. But having ridden the trolleys I knew that it was the 15th street station. Thanks for commenting.

@@craigsped Makes sense, but would it maybe possible that the 30th trolley station has been remodelled since 1980 so it is unrecognisable as the one seen in the film?

@@schmollywood It's def the 15th street Station, philly is just now remodeling under 30th street. 15th street trolley waiting area today still looks like it does at 4:01 except without the graffiti(remodeling 15th st would also take a very long time, cost loads, and probably can't involve much of the station since it's further underground). Above and to the left is the higher platform with the non-trolley subway. the trolleys at 30th street are maybe 3 ft below the train platforms, where 15th street is like 10-15 ft. down to the trolleys
