I think on that trip there was a car being driven by an older female that started out in front of the streetcar..................easier to stop the PCC than to fill out all that paperwork if you hit them.

Too bad you had to stop before proceeding through the grade crossings....was that a PAT policy? Or did you no trust the motorists? I know that too many people try to eliminate themselves from the gene pool when they are behind the wheel and get to grade crossings.
