So now we're getting into static displays.
Septa has one in their headquarters basement-13th St station concourse
Glen Echo park outside Washington DC had, and I assume has, an ex Philly PCC at its old main entrance. It had what I assume were its Philly broad gauge trucks on top of standard gauge track, so only half the wheels are on the rail.

Free yacht rides, 27' sailboat, zip code 19114 Delaware River, get great Delair bridge photos from the river. Send me a private message
Now that I think about it, there is also an ex-Toronto PCC on stationary display next to the Roosevelt/Central light rail station in downtown Phoenix.

Yes, the TTC has two, they're kept at the Russell car house on Queen st East. Both are in nice condition.
All the El Paso - Juarez PCC's came from San Diego. I believe San Diego now has one of its own back in operatiton on the downtown heritage loop plus on ex Twin Cities NJT car for that loop service.
And McKinney Avenue in Dallas has one of the two Leonards Department Store much modified PCCs operatonal and air-conditioned..
Last I knew, there were several sitting to the north of the runway at El Paso International Airport. I believe these are the ex-El Paso-Juarez cars, at least some of which came from San Diego.
Does Philly have any unrestored/modified PCCs waiting in the wings, somewhere? And, if so, are there enough to resurrect route 23?
There is the one at Boylston Station, those ones being removed from the Brooklyn waterfront, and one at the Orange Empire museum in Perris, CA (narrow gauge).
Colorado Springs = 2 (Manitou & Pikes Peak SRS&HS)....mostly ex-SEPTA, but there is a gaggle of other PCC's inside the wye at Roswell.

Seashore has NJT 5 and SEPTA 2709 in more or less operable condition. DC 1304 is missing a couple of important electrical pieces but still comes out once in a while. There are a bunch more PCCs on the property, at least some of which will move without being pushed.
I don't know if I'd call the RF&P electrification thread coffee discussion one of morning benefits, but I do know these museums were operating at least 1 PCC last time I visited
National Capitol in Wheaton, Md
Baltimore Streetcar in you know where
Pennsyvania Trolley in Arden, Pa, just north of Washington Pa
The benefits of morning coffee are discussed in the "RF&P electrification" topic.
I think about 9 NJT-Newark City Subway cars were just distributed around to several locations.Seashore Trolley Museum Kennebunk, ME has at least one, as do Connecticut's museums about one a piece. The Trolley Museum in Scranton, PA has one. For starters off the top of a fuzzy Monday morning head.

Is there a roster of all PCC's curently operated by Transit Systems and by Musuems in North America?
We know from April TRAINS that SF MUNI has 29. (The have others, "baby tens" that can be restored.)
Kenosha has six, seven?
Toronto two?
San Diego two?
Philadlephia 15?
Boston 9?
