"Baltimore, Maryland. Repairing the motor of a PCC (Presidents' Conference Committee) trolley -- the most recent streetcar model, designed in 1936 by a group of manufacturers and transit companies in an effort to standardize, simplify, and bring down the price; at the damage shop, maintenance terminal of the Baltimore Transit Company." Photographed 1943 by Marjory Collins for the Office of War Information.

San Francisco's F-Market & Wharves line runs with historic streetcars.
This was the first of ten double-ended PCC-type built for the San Francisco Municipal Railway (Muni) in 1948. It's been restored to its original color scheme and runs in regular daily service.

In the 1970s, streetcar 1008 was outfitted with a pantagraph at one end to begin testing in the subway before the Boeing light-rail vehicles were ready.

when i had to draw a streetcar for a byzLP post showing a battle in debrecen, i decided to base it on my beloved electric son the PCC car, which i guess means that alternate history communist hungary circa 1942 produced the PCC car as it existed OTL via convergent evolution

I have the most unholy, utterly unbridled urge to rebuild an entire model railroad empire. First beginning with my track ; I’ll buy some track cleaners, then I’ll clean the track, makes sense right? Then I’ll clean some wheels, some on engines, some on cars. I need to fix or clean some cars so I’ll have to go back 600 kilometers back home to steal my old screwdriver kit. Then I’ll put Katy couplers on everything. Then I’ll rebuild my Tyco/Mantua “Booster” locomotive (a dinky 0-4-0 that’s also a 2-pound BRICK). Then my PCC streetcar. Then I’ll buy some more track, a foam board, some more junk; some more TRAINS! -I’ll build a layout so big I can’t even walk around it! But why walk when you can TRAIN? Hell, I’ll screw everything in this goddamn house until it’s a fucking train itself! Hahahahahahaha! Choo. Choo. Motherfucker!
