<p>The McKinney Avenue Transit Authority air-conditioned at least three of its trolley cars. It placed air conditioning units on the roofs of the cars. Although they take away from the authenticity of the historic cars, they keep them livable in the Texas summer. </p> <p>I rode the McKinney Avenue trolleys to and from work for several years before they were air conditioned. Going home on a summer afternoon or early evening was like riding in a steam bath.</p> <p>The McKinney trolley cars are much older than the PCC car(s) proposed for the El Paso Street Car Line. I would think that the PCC cars could be air conditioned in the same manner as the McKinney Avenue trolley cars.</p>
