This was made in 1982? I guess NJT was in no hurry to put their logo on the PCCs as they had taken delivery of new Grumman buses in 1980 and repainted many former TNJ and Maplewood Equipment buses into the NJT color scheme as well. Not sure what they did with all the Somerset equipment.
Those are some large PCCs, longer than Bostons, Does anyone know where the other routes of the Newark City Subway ran to? What other parts of Newark or Essex county.
@evilrabbit33 I first visited the US, and rode on the City Subway, in April of 2002, so the old cars had been withdrawn by then. Several of them were stored at the new depot for the line, and they looked in good condition for their age. What happened to them, are any preserved somewhere?
@Licleonschakal If you really want to ride a PCC still in revenue service, they have them currently in Boston, Massachusetts. Look up the Mattapan High Speed line of the MBTA. There are several videos here on you tube.
Great video of the PCCs in Newark. When did you film it? My guess is sometime around 1977 or so. I commuted on that line from 1986 - 1991 and always enjoyed it, even in bad weather. Thanks for the memories.
Love this video man, thanks.
