PCC Three
Here is an entire rail yard filled with the Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) that replaced the PCC trolleys in Philadelphia. |
Many U.S. cities replaced street cars with buses during the 1950s and 1960s. But one city that kept its trolley tracks and PCC trolleys was San Francisco. Here a PCC in regular service rolls down a major street in the mid-1990s. |
Another PCC trolley, with a different
paint scheme, runs in regular service in San Francisco.
PCC trolleys are old enough and rare enough to be considered "historic" street cars. |
The back end of a PCC car was as rounded and streamlined as the front. This is the restored PCC trolley in Colorado Springs. |
