Four PCCs remain in Toronto at TTC. They are 4500, 4549, W30, and W31.
4500 and 4549 are used for charter service only. W30 and W31 were converted 
to rail grinders but have not been used for some time now. They will probably 
be scrapped soon.

According to sources in Toronto, 4500 and 4549 were at Connaught Car House, 
did spend some time at Roncesvalles Car House and may be back at Connaught 
now. W30 and W31 were at Connaught, but either are in the process of, or, 
have been, moved to Hillcrest Shops to dead storage.
