The entire fleet of El Paso PCC's had poles on both ends to allow backward running for the single-ended cars. To get to the barns they had to run backwards at normal speeds on a single-track spur for several blocks. There are seven double-poled PCC cars surviving being rebuilt this year by Brookville Equipment with pantographs for a new heritage line in El Paso. They are scheduled to return to service in late 2018 on a 4.8 mile route now under construction.  The Rockhill museum route has no turnaround loop at the end-of-track.  Thus, they installed an extra pole in their single-ended cars.
