I remember these in the 80's.  Froze your nuts off in the winter when the heat wasn't working.

They're actually being run in revenue service on the 509 line during weekends in Toronto, until further notice.

[torontostreetcars]

I miss those PCCs being in revenue service.

It's a fully restored model. No phony shells here, that thing has been in service since the 50's, and was completely rebuilt sometime in the late 80's.

[carbikerkid]

so this is a remake that they are putting into use,

or is it just a special run?

[DredWolf1]

The overhead wire is a wire and the trolley pole uses a running shoe that has a slot. So basically the pole is the one with the slot.

[MackenzieClare]

It's actually a wheel attached to the end of the pole.

Thats cool. Is the overhead wire a slot or is there actually a wire?
