Funny thing Philadelphia had close to 200 of them and sent the majority of them to the scrapper..it took the realization and the example from San Fran, Toronto, san diego and Kenosha to reveal the relevance of electric LR traction..Septa finally caught on with the frame up construction of 15 pcc 2's at a million apop...10 years after they claimed trolleys had no relevance in Philadelpia..
Fantastic! Long live the PCC! How lucky the people of Kenosha are to have restored streetcar service for themselves, and how great it is to see these precious PCCs so well-cared for and maintained. Great job; you are a natural at instructional videos! Thanks for posting.
Many thanks, Brad. We just rode Philly's PCC-II cars last week. Was a nice ride. You almost ought to make this into a commercially available video on streetcar / trolley operations.
Great video! Thanks for the tour
