Baltimore Streetcars

I put the Cleveland Witt as good looking as the Baltimore, but no better.  Toronto tops both, in my opnion.

Found the edit on one  PCC photo incompleter andcompleted it, and have added two more, one on the last paint sheme.

But for non-PCC Peter Witts, my all time favorite streetcar will always be the Third Avenue Trabsit Broadway-42nd  Street "Huffliner." Built in Manhattan 1937-1938.

Your opinion of the Third Avenue home-made Peter Witt lightweight is certainly of interest.  Meanwhile, more Baltimore,  bit this time not Peter Witts:

All Baltimore streetcar photos of mine must require me to credit John Stern for time, location, and angle.  The Baltimore and Washington trips were in 1947 and 1948, and I was 15 and 16, and John treated me like a younger brother  

Some location information from Richard Allman.

The 26 Sparrows  Point Line had a downtown loop. and John Stern, Bill Watson, annd I boarded the front car of the two-car train at Baltimore and Greene Streets just a stiop before Fayette and Pearl Streets, shown as the destination downtown.  Previous posts on this thread give a a good idea of the line.  1947 photos.  The curves onto Greene Street  were used by the 18 Pennsylvania Avenue Line, I think, already bus at the time of our visit.

 

5767 Key Avenue Shuttle,  is between Arlington. the junction with the 25 Mt. Washington Line, and the line's Mt.Washington Bridge.
