Thanks, NYO. Lots of interesting stuff. That was the place to be for a full measure of rail transit. Just needed to be born earlier and have a long life to take it all in.

NYO,

Obviously PCC's are too beautiful to be the king!

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

On the subject of center entrance cars, let's not forget the giant ...

Agreed! The PCC's were the Queen of the Trolleys!
