"DPChallenge user purpletroll has sent you the following private message:

I beg to differ. They are not of a dead breed. San Fransico still uses trolley cars."

Hey purpletroll,
No offense was meant by my comment. When I commented "A dead breed", I meant this trolley car in particular. I realize they still use trolley cars in San Fran, though I did not know this one was from PA. I have seen the ones in San Fran, and they are great. I just feel that this particular car looks very "dead", not dying. A feeling of nostalgia might have been more inspired by a pic of a trolley in use (at S.F. for instance). This particular shot more makes me think of "Junk", not "Nostalgia". Sorry if I seem blunt, but if we all make comments based on what we really feel instead of trying to not hurt feelings, we all might learn more from each other. BTW, I gave you a "6" on this photo, well above the average score it received. Others weren't so kind because they gave you a low score and didn't tell you why!

Take Care,
Brian

A dying breed? Long gone. Use to ride them to market!
