PCC TWO
Another view of Philadelphia's Germantown Avenue historic trolley. The PCC was designed to be operated by one person, who both drove the car and collected fares. |
Here is one of the oldest PCC trolleys used in Philadelphia. Note that, instead of "standee windows," this streetcar has enlarged passenger windows. |
Another restored PCC in
Philadelphia. This silver and cream paint scheme was used prior to
adoption of green and cream.
PCC trolleys were painted different colors in different cities. Baltimore used yellow. St. Louis used red. |
A historic green and white PCC sits
between the newer vehicles that replaced it on Philadelphia trolley
lines.
These new versions of the street car, called light rail vehicles, or LRVs, were designed and manufactured in Japan. |
