Kenosha Streetcar Track Repair 2017
zhlédnutí 845Před 7 lety
Kenosha Wisconsin installed it's streetcar line in 2000 and the work shown here is the first time any repairs have been done to the track. The first part of the video shows Volkmann Railroad builders crew breaking out the concrete, cutting out a section of rail and welding the new rail in place. The second repair was to realign the track just west of the 6th avenue switch. A photo taken on a ho...

Saturday morning mid March 2016 First a look down the CN track to the ETRR interchange switch, then a look at Indianhead Park. East Troy is getting close finishing their new maintenance building. Looking good! Little Debbie and L6 were pulled out of Phantom Woods barn and 3 South Shore cars (13, 30, and 9) are outside the barn to have some work done. A couple of shots by the Elegant Farmer stop...

Imagine if we had these running between small U.S. towns. But or state and federal government favored automobiles, so most cities are parking lots and highways.
i think i own this very unimog! i bought it from someone who bought it from another guy but i have all the work orders from the Kenosha public works dept. Unless there was another 406 Mog used in that dept.
It is not true that Czechoslovakia did not pay license fees for PCC. The cooperation between ČKD and Westinghouse, concluded even earlier during the "1st Czechoslovak Republic", also consisted in the mutual exchange of licenses between the two companies. According to my sources, $10,000 was paid for the first 25 trams produced, which means 50 complete chassis covered by the parts contract. The following chassis were already redesigned by ČKD-Tatra Smíchov's own design, which was no longer subject to the fee arrangement for each manufactured chassis according to the PCC model. Grandfather and great-grandfather worked at ČKD-Tatra, Prague-Smíchov, and ČKD-Sokolovo, Prague-Vysočany, and participated in the technical development of the T2 and T3 types. Greetings to all of you from Prague, Jan.
Why is there no more sound on this video:(
In the SEPTA Building, they had a retired trolley. My son Loved getting on there and play the driver. He had a wonderful imagination.
Nice regards from Polish tram driver
They is movin’ hiney backwards? LOL! 😮. PWG
Wonderful
What kind of wig wag uses an lS brach co bell and a WCH bell both on the same signal?
They are RRS or early WRRS bells. The base is a dead giveaway.
PCC streetcars still run in regular service, in Boston on the Mattapan Trolly line in 2023.
How did they manage to get ahold of so many PCC cars? They are absolutely beautiful.
@@-ashai-4178 Welllllll... Actually, Muni did complete rebuilds on most of these and extremely extensive repairs and retrofits on literally all of them. None of them have the original paint, unfortunately. Some have been repainted in other agencies' colors as an homage to historic paint schemes. So not all the cars actually match their original agency. Muni seems to think that they are allowed to repaint the cars in a given color if they're the same model and if they already own a vehicle from that agency's fleet. Also, most of the workhorse PCCs that run regular routes got modern but period-looking ADA-compliant interiors and wheelchair equipment. They have a ton of completely historic ones too, with no modernizations at all, but those are rolled out sparingly to keep them in good condition. They only flood the streets with those on more special occasions. Muni's historic F line (and E line) is simultaneously a rolling streetcar museum _and_ a fully functional, code-compliant transit line. So they can't run all the historic cars all of the time. That's a lot more expensive than just running the modernized PPCs and a few of the older models for "spice".
Wouldn't it have been much more practical to design this vehicle with levers rather than pedals? I don't understand the use of the pedals, which are also complicated and tiring when the hands are completely free and with a single lever it is possible to have both the accelerator and the brake, most of the trams and I think almost all trains are made like this, with levers.
Don't forget that the PCC was designed in the mid-1930s, 20th century, and then the trams didn't have delicate joysticks to steer, only heavy actuators that manually moved the contacts with a crank. Therefore, the use of pedals to control was an innovative solution, which also tried to resemble the control of a car. I have a friend who is a tram driver, he drives both modern trams and older PCCs and admits that after a whole day of pressing the pedals, his legs hurt...
@@faurl35h I understand....but the driving position for the reverse gear should have a manual control for the gas. There are several trams around the world built in the 1930's, 80% all have hand levers and controls. I find it very uncomfortable to just use the feet
@@nasinopuzzolente5396 There is no problem in upgrading the electrical system to use manual controls. Many retrofit PCCs have a manual control panel. czcams.com/video/PbjoeO_-zPQ/video.html
Awesome. I know it from the Tatras and their lovely sound (especially the main contactor) in some towns of Eastern Germany. But meamwhile nearly all of them are thyristor controlled.
There is a good chance in the future that those old electricity run vehicles will make a comeback. They are not polluting. At least, we can hope for it.
Hi Brad, how much does it cost to restore a PCC nowadays one that is badly weathered? I know Brookville want s2.6 million plus is that reasonable?
Does the Swing bridge have a horn, siren, alarm that signal the opening and closing of the bridge?
Thank-you!
estes eletricos só andam no centro ou vão aos bairros. longed tipo subúrbio.
I love the various gorgeous paint jobs on these streetcars!
Great Railroad bridge Video!!!! F+L, Corey
Love the PCC cars!!!
Brevard County Florida transit still has these.
Does the bridge have a horn?
I'm a train and I approve this video! :D Choo choo!!
Choo choo, Im a train and I approve this video!
SEPTA's PCC IIs have the same lift, but El Paso's rebuilds have a new and improved lift.
This line, running through the Oconomowoc Depot, once belonged to the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad (Milwaukee Road), which went out of business in 1986.
History repeats itself for sure!!! I knew that some day these lines that were abandoned decades ago would make a comeback in one way or form or another. Look what happened out in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, and Sacramento in California! Light Rail systems galore; some running on the approximate alignment of their predisesors. San Francisco, Philadelphia, have retained most of their trolley lines. You still have the New Orleans trolleys that have looked the same for decades!
TTC PCC were fast and plenty. new low floor multi cabs are slow and not so agile.
The new modern Toronto street cars do look good though. I remember The Toronto PC cars cars when I went there in the early seventies. I used to love the way they look. Back in the day they were considered modern and streamlined.
Perhaps expansion as far south as Illinois maybe to Zion or Waukegan!?
This is a streetcar you’re talking about, it’s built to run locally along city streets. What you’re thinking of already exists as Metra. Not to mention the price for that would be ASTRONOMICAL!

soo line grain car
Does the meter show the voltage of the control circuit?

Remember when the train went full speed into the river when bridge was up.

Living history is better than actual history.
This is similar to the lily dale railroad swing bridge that’s by St. Paul it’s really awesome I’ve seen the bridge operate in person and trains coming it’s really awesome I wish an Amtrak can cross it
PART TWO If you Tube summer riot footage in this city, you will see parts where line should have been located. A similar situation in Memphis Tenn. A line does to useful local service along a mains street as a bidirectional loop, but goes to a river front line park,(including a monorail transfer to a park island connection!) But if done in opposite direction away from river would have usefully served built up and commercisl areas. At least Tampa Florida line, does serve a downtown area. The latter 2 go in both directions instead of this loop to nowhere.
It basically is a STREETCAR MUSEUM RIDE set on city streets. If expanded as planned to commercial center and main residential areas it would be useful. Unfortunately people living along the center median part can only go to industrial are or scenic run along shore.
brilliant. I love smart people.
Dont bother. BLM will just destroy it!
Trump did it years before
Hello, is this a museum? Where is this located?
I worked for Septa in Philadelphia So I’m very familiar with 2185
Ну прямо як 12 маршрут в Києві.
The Pacific Electric PCC is not true to prototype.
Wonderful footage :), I liked all point of views especially that one showing acceleator in action. What was confusing for me was DC AM meter which was not showing current values when coasting or braking. This is quite usefull for detecting stuck tap in acceleators. Normally when coasting at speeds more than 5 km/h there should be about 60 A braking current and somewhat higher near max speed, if it is higher or lower it might indicate stuck taps in accelerator. Now in Prague (Czech Republic) PCCs became quite scarce and now they operate only on nostalgic line 23.
Very interresting cab ride. Also in a tractor. Thanks for sharing your beautiful line to the world.
Now 4617 and 2185 run in kenosha
