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...

Here are 2 ways to find the correct answers:

Here's a shoutout to Flintlock: the car that eluded me last time.
Here's L.A. Transit Lines. I've heard this referred to as the " Fruit Salad" paint scheme !! ?
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?
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...
