Pittsburgh Railways PCCs/Toronto PCCs

[Edward H. Lybarger]

1799 2nd was 1613, not 1640, according to some of the shop people at the
time of the rebuild.  We have carried it as such at PTM, but I can't tell
you absolutely which was which.

Hi Greg,

Here's a list of preserved Pittsburgh PCC's.  I don't know what
condition they are in.  Additions and corrections would be appreciated.

1440  Seashore Trolley Museum

1644 (1797 2nd) Northern Ohio Railway Museum

1976 (1603, 1784 2nd)  Ron Jedlicka, Pataskala, Ohio (private owner)

1772  Ohio Railway Museum (I've heard that this car is in service there)

1724  Senator Heinz Regional History Center in Pittsburgh

1138, 1467, 1711, and 1799 2nd (1640)  Pennsylvania Trolley Museum

1788 2nd (1639) is listed as being privately owned by Ed Miller.
Confirmation?

1703, 1738, 1741, 1750, 1754, 1771 are owned by the Vintage Electric
Streetcar Company in Johnstown, PA.  This is a brokerage firm that sells
trolleys for heritage lines, ala Kenosha.

1761 went to the Cincinnati Transit Historical Association and was
scrapped by them.

I know that it was posted before, but does anyone have the dispositions
of the remaining cars at the end of PCC service?

Also, does anyone know why so few Pittsburgh PCC's were saved as
compared to the hordes of Toronto and Philadelphia ones?  Can't be the
gauge factor.

Hope this has been of some help.

Charlie
