Double-Ended PCC Car

Hmmm...Didn't the Pacific Electric have the only double-ended PCC cars?

EDIT: Looks like there were more than just PE.

It's possible it could be eventually headed for San Francisco. The MUNI F line features vintage streetcars painted to match trolley lines of the past. There's even a PCC car (single-ended) painted to honor Pacific Electric even though the PE's cars were (ironically) double-ended like the one you saw.

Thanks for the photo link, Bill. I was thinking one of these was what Tom saw. These were the double-ended ones PE was using. This particular pair were lucky enough to escape to Argentina and avoid the scrapper's torch...at least for a while.

That's it, all right.  Thanks for the info, Bill.  It was a real surprise to see it going past downtown Amarillo at 60 MPH.

As info, Matt, yes the Pacific Electric did run pre-war double-ended PCC's on the Glendale line.  They had skirts over the place where wheel wells are normally seen, and used the Pullman-Standard rectangular windshields, instead of the later slanted style seen on this PCC and postwar PCC's.

Matt, those aren't PCC cars.

And the Red Arrow cars were broad gauge!

What is the name of the company in Brookville P that refurbished the trolley?

"I need a career change and it looks like something I would like."

That collection of vintage trolleys in San Francisco just keeps getting better and better!  I really need to make a return trip there some day soon (my favorite U.S. city in any case).

This is way to easy.  Brookville Equipment Corporation.

Muni  F line is a great ride.  Four PCC cars in one photo !

this is the double ended PCC, and as far as i know (and i could be very wrong) Pacific Electric was the only line with them
