Actually NO never had PCC cars. This video was shot in San Francisco. NO swapped car 952 for California Cable Car 59 (what we were supposed to do with it I cannot figure???) The 952 is a wonderful ambassador to the city of NO running around in SF but the cable car sits at our carbarn, worthy of the scrap pile, unfortunately.

Never knew N.O. had PCC cars.
