SEPTA Subway–Surface Trolley Depot / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elmwood Carhouse is a SEPTA Subway–Surface trolley carbarn[1][2] that house the current Kawasaki LRVs that run on routes 11, 13, 34 & 36. From September 1992 to September 2005, Route 10 was housed here as well; however, with the restoration of the trolley service to Route 15 in 2005, the Route 10 trolleys are stored at Callowhill Carhouse.
