PCC Cars

[mudchicken]

Colorado Springs has a dozen ex-Philadelphia SEPTA cars / 1 in service, on a short piece of track. A civic group is in the process of restarting a downtown circulator and eventually reviving the area streetcar line plus operating over a short segment of the old Rock Island main track going towards the eastern suburbs.

Here are some cities I know about:

Boston still uses about 12 of them on one line that connects to the red line.

Kenoshoa, Wisc. Has a line with ex- Toronto cars

Philadelphia- will use them again next year on the route 15 Girrard Ave line when this reopens. They also use them on the Holiday trolley service and charters.

San Francisco has a fleet used on the Market Street Fisherman's Wharf line.

Newark New Jersey retired their PCC's earlier this year.

Pittsburgh- stopped using them last year.

There may be some European systems that still have some they were popular in Belgium, Holland Austria. I know Vienna still has a few.

Toronto Transit Commission has 2 on the roster, but they are used only for charter service.
A number of their old PCCs have gone to small new systems in the US.

Are there any traction systems that still use PCC cars?
