Really want to find an old map to frame for my dad. Looking for the ones that used to be on the trains. Anyone know where I could buy one from ?

it sounds like finding an original will be very difficult. you may want to see if you can find an image of one and have a glycee print made

pardon my spelling
truly a long-shot, but the photographic museum might have some leads- they're super cool there, shoot them an email- fire them an email

Did you try ebay? Some of these, while not exactly what you are after, are cool:

I know the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum has one of the old maps that was on the trains circa early 2000's displayed in the gift shop area. It isn't for sale but it's possible they have a scanned copy or something.

Μight be rough finding one. Believe it or not, there are transit aficionados who collect anything transit-oriented. The old maps were probably scarfed up soon after they were taken down from the stations. You could also check with the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum in Washington County. They may be able to give you some leads.
