      From: johnl@iecc.com              >SEPTA recently refurbed some PCCs for use on a 'tourist' line. It seems       >*people* like the PCCs, if only because they are cool (esp. with the A/C SEPTA       >installed) antiques. Maybe San Francisco's TA has discovered the same thing.              The San Francisco F line that runs along Market St and up the       Embarcadero to Fisherman's Wharf uses a grabbag of antique streetcars       including many PCCs, of which 16 came from Philadelphia. I can't       begin to imagine what they have to do to keep them all running. They       seem reasonable reliable.              They also have a network of modern cars that run underground on Market       St (one level up from BART) and on the street elsewhere.              --- SoupGate/W32 v1.03        * Origin: LiveWire BBS -=*=- UseNet FTN Gateway (1:2320/1)    |
