Review of A Farewell to the Bullets & Brills Cab Ride DVD

The last of the original "Bullet" and "Brill" cars of the former Philadelphia and Western (now operated by SEPTA) were retired in 1990. Railroad Video Productions will take you on a "Head End" ride on this line from the 69th Street Terminal, Upper Darby (Philadelphia) to Norristown, PA aboard the last remaining "Strafford" car in service (in 1989). You will see "Strafford" car number 162 and "Bullet" car number 208 in action from trackside as well as interior shots, yard moves and historical footage. 60 Minutes - Color - B&W - Sound
