John Prophet's videos of early PCC car operation have been re-issued by Railroad Video Productions. Filmed between 1938 and 1949 this 16MM footage is a real treat for its vivid colour, old cars, old buildings and of course the PCC cars. There is an especially long Pittsburgh segment. Cars featured in the video are mainly air-electric, but there are some all-electrics on the Twin City Lines, Shaker Heights and Chicago. There is no narration. It's available in DVD or VHS.
This was previously issued in the 70s or 80s by Empire Pictures, a defunct video production company. Much of this footage also appeared in the videos of the now defunct GPS Video.
