Milantram's pics of the day--November 17 |

Posted by milan1834 on Wed Nov 18 00:46:08 2009 Taken today. San Diego Vintage Trolley PCC 529, resplendent in its new paint, was rolled out of its covered storage location at the San Diego Trolley Yard. It had been Muni 1122, but started life as St. Louis Public Service. 1745.

This car going to turn out really nice! I can't wait to see it in person.SDERy shop replaced alot of floor line metal on this car and probably also on the other two SLPS/Muni cars they have. The SEPTA car was heavily GOH rebuilt in the late 80's so its probably going to need less work. I can't wait to see what 529 will look like lettered, with the rest of the body put together and the single arm pantograph on the roof! The ex-SLPS PCC's operated at SLPS and Muni with two pedals instead of the usual three, with the left pedal being the accelerator, RH brake. Deadmans were in heel switches on the pedals. |

When it begins, initially they will operate on San Diego Trolley around the 12th Street/C Street/Harborside Loop. There are plans to build tracksto Balboa Park, but that's not fmro many years. |

That will be cool when it's up and running. Do you know if the PCCs will use traditional trolley poles, or will they have to be fitted with modern pantographs? (hopefully, the former). |

No. This is ex-Muni 1122, which was at South Lake Tahoe. As were 530 (ex-Muni 1123) and 531 (ex-Muni 1170). PCC 532 is ex-SEPTA 2186, which was obtained from the St. Louis Transportation Museum. No PCCs came from OERM. |
