Flintlock76 May he remain strong and healthy!! Paul Postwar Paul Flintlock, I had to get that shot for you. Hopefully brings back great memories!! Paul It does Paul it does, but not of the cars. My favorite uncle worked for Public Service for thirty five years, and the cars re-enforce my pride in him. By the way he's still with us at 96! Strong as an ox too!

Penny Trains #3 is a Cleveland car! That's a Raymond Loewy paint scheme by the way. Check out this site: https://www.railarchive.net/electric/index.html#thumbnails The later RTA scheme: I remember seeing them in the 80's on the Shaker line. This film is dated 1974: This one is clearer. The PCC's don't start showing up until about 5 and a half minutes in, otherwise it's mostly the St. Louis Car Co. "Bluebirds" early on. The film is likely from 1961, as some keen eyed viewers have identified automobiles from that model year. There's also NKP and NYC freight and passenger action, including a Central RDC. Also note the PCC vs. Bus shot around 12:15 and what may be a combined Twentieth Century Limited/Empire State Express at 31:40:

Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot!
Philadelphia Transit
There's actually a lot of great places for great pizza. It may not be the same as in Jersey, but we've tasted some great slices! S.F. Is a foodie town...
Wow! Not just one, but FOUR shots! Thank you Paul, you outdid yourself! Made my day!
Of course the question now is, what does a good Jersey streetcar do for a decent pizza out in San Francisco?
Here's L.A. Transit Lines. I've heard this referred to as the " Fruit Salad" paint scheme !! ?
Here's a shoutout to Flintlock: the car that eluded me last time.

Penny Trains Well since photo four has advertising on it I was going to say San Diego.

Here are 2 ways to find the correct answers:
1. Go to Muni website
2. if you look very closely at some of these pictures, you will see a small paper " cheat sheet" in one of the small upper side windows !
Postwar Paul Flintlock76 Well done Peter! Now, as an old Northern New Jersey guy I'm slightly offended by this. Where's the Public Service Coordinated Transport PCC? Jeez, I feel SO left out! Oh well, I don't have one on the layout either. MTH made one but I haven't found one yet. But I will... I was hunting for your car to get a shot. Many cars went past, and I was seeing the same cars repeat. But then, after I had left my position and started to walk away, it went past, and I didn't have time to react...

So it just sneaked up on you, went , and kept on going.
Yeah, that's a Jersey PCC all right!

the only correction is the green and cream cars are Philadelphia.
I was searching for the Melbourne tram, but it did not make an appearance.
