Those Dutch PCC's are real beauties. Don't know what the '56 Chevy was doing there but the German Opels from that era had similar styling in a smaller sized car.

The Italian "Peter Witts&qu ...

Some of the postwar European cars looked decent. The Netherlands had some PCC's that looked like narrow American ones. Tatra made some cars that had many PCC features but looked different but still ...

I do check this forum periodically, but I only respond to posts that present things of personal interest.
Unfortunately, most of what I see here is things we have seen and discussed multiple times ...

Really excellent promotional film primarily on trolley buses, city by city, also including ASV's and PCC's at the end. A "must watch" for trolley bus fans.

You are probably referring to the PE ROW in the Hollywood Freeway through Cahuenga Pass. However, PE was there first. Before the freeway, there was just Cahuenga Blvd starting off as a windy dirt ro ...

Even if all that were true, and I can't see enough of the trailing car to verify, there would still have to be three rails, since LARy was 3'-6" gauge, and I only see two.

NYO,

Had to break out the books to confirm my memory but LARy actually had 35 Birneys. They were primarily used as shuttle cars and a few were used as money cars.

NYO,

I've seen all those cars when I visited the OERM many decades ago.

I went searching for photos of the 550 and 950 class PE cars but had little luck. I did find one of a 950 that the OERM ...

NYO:

I think PE was coerced into investing in PCC's when they did. I don't remember what governmental entity was involved. They were still running a lot of old wooden equipment, particularly on t ...

NYO,

Didn't know it had been that long. I just haven't seen anything that I could add any additional information to.

Present and accounted for!
