  The SEPTA Kawasaki S/E fleet was built in Japan and was shipped over to Pennsylvania to complete the manufacturing of the units in 1981. These cars have similar interior configuration to the 40-50 year old PCC fleet that they replaced. The S/E cars were assigned to the city transit division at the Elmwood Depot with original use out of what remained of the old Woodland Car barn. None of these cars are equipped with a wheelchair lift; however, they are still running rather strong in the fleet with the whole order of 112 cars running.

	Notes
Cars remanufactured between 2002 and 2004 and have been re-designated PCC II Remanufactured and modernized by the Brookville Mining Equipment Company of Brookville, Pennsylvania. Keipe Electric of Europe built new electrical supplies for the cars. Brand new trucks based on the PCC B3 design have been installed on these cars. These cars are now wheelchair accessible and air-conditioned. SEPTA saved money by using the stainless steel seat frames from their retired Volvo B10M articulated buses. Cars 2320-2325, 2327-2328, 2330-2331, 2333-2334, 2336-2337 were rebuilt from 1947 2700 series cars. Cars 2326, 2329, 2332, 2335 were rebuilt from 1948-49 2100s series cars.
