@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
@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 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.
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.

@CityMan6875 Several of these cars were sold to San Francisco and are currently running there.

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