Earle Baldwin Posted September 11, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 11, 2007 During April 1980 and August 1981, I visited Toronto for the TTC PCC experience. If ever a single city could lay claim to "Trolley Car Heaven," Toronto is it. Streetcar lines seemed to be everywhere. In fact, when I returned home from those trips I had to get used to the idea of not seeing rails in the street! Here are some pictures from those trips: I hope you enjoy them. I'll post more in the coming days. Regards, Earle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracknut Posted September 12, 2007 Share #4 Posted September 12, 2007 Nice shots of the trolleys. I always loved trolleys ever since I was a kid. The way you describe it, it sounds like trolley heaven there. Looking forward to more photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastman346 Posted September 12, 2007 Share #5 Posted September 12, 2007 Nice pics Earle. I noticed the first two trolleys in the pictures are missing the front bumpers. Was there any reason for this. Do these trolleys ever get coupled together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earle Baldwin Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted September 12, 2007 Hi, Eastman. TTC's PCC cars featured a number of differences in details and, indeed, some cars had multiple unit capability. In fact, if you look closely at the view of the 4474, the coupler is visible pushed to the left front corner of the car. TTC's roster included many second hand cars.

Regards, Earle Yes I noticed it in the picture that's why I asked. I figured they used to coupled together recently. Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTransitFan Posted September 12, 2007 Share #8 Posted September 12, 2007 It's a real treat to see all these 80's photos you've been posting. Now we're treated by these beautiful trolleys of Toronto. These trolleys look very familiar. Like they were used in another city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted September 12, 2007 Share #9 Posted September 12, 2007 In photo #2 it looks like the whole entire coupler assembly is missing. Nice photographs Earle thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
