Dayton OH Trolley Fantrip Photos

Dayton doesn't have many fantrips. Primarily due to the GDRTA determining that they didn't necessarily want to have an argument that were they to rent a trolley bus, they didn't properly compete with private industry for the same work. Of course, this is notwithstanding the fact that there has not been a second potential source of an operable electric transit vehicle in Dayton since August 1956.

So when a fantrip presents itself, it is worthy of note.
