I find the pre-PCC experimental cars interesting. If I recall correctly, Chicago and Washington DC had some too.

Whether it's art, architecture, literature, music, or transit vehicles, beauty is a thing of the past.   Topic: Electrico Carro Fiesta!

Shaker got their cars from Cleveland.   Topic: After only a decade, DC "streetcars" are kaput Cyberider Replies: 27 Views: 4400 Forum: Surface Transit - Eastern United States   Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2025 12:24 pm   Subject: After only a decade, DC "streetcars" are kaput Obviously PCC's are too beautiful to be the king!   Topic: Electrico Carro Fiesta!

I was amazed when I first learned of it and the equipment they were running in the 70's and 80's.
