No upgrades? We had been upgrading them for more than 40 years since the 
production in the US ended!

......... I personally think the only really good streetcar is the PCC. The 
older cars are slow, clumsy, far too noisy, and hard to operate. The PCC was 
made for running in mixed traffic and accomplished that task very well. 
Today the LRV type cars are made for private right of way or segregated 
street operation and they accomplish that task very well. Even the PCC is 
becoming "dated" in its appearance. Too bad there were never any further 
'upgrades' to them.
