Some of those PCCs were in the movie were first purchased and placed into service in June of 1940. My username here represents one of the last batches of streetcars St. Louis Public Sevice bought. Taking those lines out of service was a very stupid thing for St. Louis to do. Maggiano's Little Italy in Richmond Heights plays the music of the streetcar era. The restaurant is just a block or two west of where the old transfer loop was for routes 01 and 11.
My great grandfather was hit by a streetcar in st Louis in 1902 still have the newspaper article!
