I think there's still 3 on the property. Hopefully they can return home to Minneapolis & run on the proposed Streetcar/Light Rail System in a similar way like what's being done in San Francisco & can connect the Como/Harriet Streetcar line up with the rest of the system.
Nice video. San Diego is about to bring back PCC cars on a downtown loop. Check out my vids of the first fully-restored PCC car #529 being tested downtown. I can't wait to ride.
@tkandme3 septa is either cheap, poor, or both. Whenever i would take the Trenton/Chester Hill Line, all the stations, besides North Phily, Trenton,Suburban Street, and Penn Sation are subpar
San Francisco still has many of their older PCC cars in service on the F line up and down Market Street. They mainly cater to the tourist crowd though, and are not often used on the underground subway lines. Nice to see that other cities had used PCC cars for their transit systems as well.
@flubbaj All of the current single ended PCC's running on the F line were purchased from Septa and NJT. That said, 1040 which is an original SF single ended PCC is supposed to return next year for the 100 year anniversary of the Market Street Railway.
I miss those old PCC cars. I remember riding on them with my dad when I was little. NJT could have kept them as there are quite a few other transit agencies who are still using vintage equipment in revenue service.
This video is so cool,i love this video,this is my favorite video of all time,all i can say is i wish the Newark Subway PCC was still running,my mother been on these things before when she was a teen & now i like the trolley also,thats a nice looking trolley,i wish they can repair it & put these things back in service,its sad to see these things get put out of service,and the name of this trolley is the "NJTransit/PSCT PCC (Ex-Twin City) (St. Louis Car Co., 1946-1947)" but overall nice video.
@CityMan6875 They should of rebuilt them, and kept them in service. The TTC in Toronto also should of kept their PCC Trolleys. In machine shops, parts could of been made, to rebuild them, along with spare parts.
Nice. I’m going to upload my tape from this day soon.

So... I've heard of the Newark City "subway" but I didn't know it was a streetcar line.

@CityMan6875 Wasn't St. Louis out of commission due to the R44 order for NYC's subway system?
