We've heard a lot about the plans on the NJ side to go down the CSX tracks into Gloucester County, but I haven't really heard anything about the PA side expansion. Is it just an unfunded dream right now?

The idea of a street car like this on Delaware Ave is interesting to me. At first it feels like "Well, this goes nowhere but strip clubs and Ikea", but I wonder if people who live closer to Delaware Ave than Broad Street would take it to Center City instead of a bus.

I wanted to ask you about that. Weren't you looking at a purchase order or something a few months ago, and noticed that they were doing this replacement? I was wondering if you knew what kind of cars they might be getting, like if they were exact replacements or if they were getting something new and interesting.

The light rail on the waterfront was a dream but now it is a part of the Waterfront Master Plan... so hopefully we'll see it built some day.
