Great video! I love this machines. PCC trolleys are so special! Are those trolleys shown still in regular service or they are from some kind of heritage railway? Thank you!
I note that the PCC being towed was equipped with shock absorbers. I take it that this was an aftermarket modification done by either the museum or the previous owner of the PCC, right? I own a copy of the book "PCC: The Car That Fought Back" and there were no visible shock absorbers on any of the B2/B3 trucks photographed in that book. Thanks!
The reason there are shocks is because this car came from the TTC where it had gone through an A15 rebuild that almost completely replaced the bodywork except for the roof plus other mods to get them more or less on par with our CLRVs
What are your work days? I tried to meat you in August but just misted you. I met Karen and we put the streetcar back in the barn. And shut off all electrical power to the whole line and it was loud! I uploaded a video of us doing it

They are still in regular service in Kenosha, Wisconsin. I just saw them not too long ago.
Thank-you!

The reason for the shocks was that these were on the CTA PCC subway cars.
