Which city is it? Philadelphia? Does it have regular tram operation today? How much tracks were closed in 50s, 60s...? Very nice PCC trams. We are still using them in Central Europe. Similar type of tram was produced in communist countries to 1990! About 13 000 of this T3 trams were producedBad joke is that this concept of tram was invented in USA. Communist always said that they invented it! Interesting tram story this PCC
Yeah, it's in Philadelphia. Their public transportation company is called SEPTA. If you look closely, you will see an "S" on the Trolleys. I am not sure of the history regarding the tracks. Maybe our Anthony can give more details. He filmed the segment. Anthony is a great Photographer and videographer. We used to have trolleys, or street cars, as they are sometimes called here in Delaware, too.

Really nice video. It must be nice to ride in those cars - looks like a quiet and comfy ride.

Ok. I hope there will be more new tram networks in US because I think it´s terrible what happened to trams in 50s and 60s.
