The spent the majority of their career on the 604 Harbourfront before ending their service on the 504 King, 505 Dundas and 506 Carlton Streetcar lines.

I still love the classic look of the PCC streetcars the colours are nicer than the ones they have now. And the squeak is totally part of the experience!

A little biased with the A-15 PCC’s since I grew up in Kenosha where a a few A-15’s still remain.
