According to Herb Brannon (former PAT motorman who presently works for the
Cleveland system) the RTA kept one PCC as part of their historic fleet. I
hope it is one of their  Pullman-Standards. There are lots of nice ex-TCRT
St.Louis-built PCCs left and a few ex-St. Louis Public Service Company PCCs
around. Unfortunately, most of the surviving SHRT Pullmans are either
neglected or are not high priority restoration projects at this time.

Look at the ex-Birmingham Pullmans.......beautiful cars, yet the only one
preserved was later scrapped after being returned to Alabama and now there
is only the body of one in Ontario.

Ooops, to get back on topic, I understand PTM has a former SHRT Pullman PCC
in its fleet.
