Actually. That's the entire model they've been using since 1947 when the PCC2 trolleys were formed. They just got upgraded to meet the modern terms of technology, to prevent random fires that may occur due to equipment not being up to date and such. And the Kawasaki trolleys were made in 1980, and so they also have been upgraded to meet the modern terms of technology to prevent the same issues, from random fires due to equipment not being up to date and such.
Fantastic video!
Imagine if the trolley was sentient...
*TROLLEY SCREAMING EVERY TIME A CAR BASHED INTO IT*
Très sympa ! il est très joli ce matos !
Cool video! The traction motors sound just like Bombardier's Flexity trams traction motors.
Great video....too cool, thanks for sharing.
So much better than the modern trolley cars
I agree!
On ne s'en lasse pas. A remarquer la prudence extrême dans les virages...mais ne ligne droite le PCC fonce !
Philadelphie ? pourrai plus dire que je n'y suis jamais allée !! merci !
*SUPER* !
Bises.
Super...merci Jean
C'est top comme vieux matos, l'intégration du bloc clim' en toiture est bien en accord avec la ligne de l'engin, et puis elle trace la mamie !
Ouaip! du matos comme on aimerait en voir plus chez nous.
I think these cars started out here in Chicago in the late 40's early 50's
According to Wikipedia, these cars were built in 1947 for Philadelphia city. They were rebuilt for the restoration of route 15 service in 1995.
ErebosSan hmm...I will have to check this out more carefully

Elevated Subway

Ok I see. No, this is the only video I made in Philly.
These aren't heritage. They are light rail vehicles from the 2000's era with a PCC shell

Yes and no They're rebuilds of 1947-vintage PCCs, upgraded to modern standards, more than just the shells put on modern bodies.
