Vintage Trolleys in San Tran. PCC Cars 'n More!

I like the 1007 the best, the one painted up for Red Arrow.

Ive been on these. They are a great part of San Francisco. I can't wait to go back and ride them again, as well as the cable cars

excellent video, I was there in '87, rode the yellow Oporto single-trucker many many times, my favourite, and because it has the loudest tram music [gearings and motors in Brill 21E truck]. What happened it it today?

These PCCs are originally SEPTA cars that were scheduled for the scrap yard.
Instead, SF Muni bought them and sent them to Brookville Equipment Company in North Central PA for rehab.

The old accelerator drums, contactors, relays and current sensors were removed and replaced by 21st century DC/AC inverters and traction equipment.

As a tribute to old times, each car was repainted in the livery colors of every major American city that used PCCs.

I love PCC's! This is one incredible video.
SanFran is the transit model for America!

I was born in Philly and my fondest childhood memories are of the trolleys and the Red Arrow Line (I even wrote a song by that name). I used to spend hours at the Broadview Road/Beverly hills station watching them come over the trestle...

Wondeful. I grew up riding the PCC streetcar in Toronto and it was a thrill riding one again in SF.

In most jurisdictions it is important that streetcars in San Francisco require both a bell and a horn or a whistle in some sort is that right?

Not sure. But sounds right.

Great but too short!!!
