Great video Alex! We met in July 2007 at Baltimore Streetcar Museum. We had fun operating PCC 7407. I'm in New York now. I love the subway, but no trolleys here since 1956. Good thing my family is in Philadelphia. :) -Jonathan

Were you backing it up from the rear of the car? Are there controls back there? PCC's weren't double ended.

[doublealex28]

Most of PCC cars had a back up controller for the yard movment. It does not matter, it can be either single end or doble ended.

@ROCKSTARCRANE Some PCC cars have a shift lever by the motorman's seat that allows you to shift to a reverse gear but then you have to have someone on the streetcar sitting in the back to guide the motorman. In 1936, the PCC was created as a streetcar in which the transit agencies all ove the world would use to help win back riders. They were quiet, stylish, smooth and they had the plush seats. Due to the way the seating onboard, they were grea for transporting the handiapped!
