Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Historic car no. 1055 (original model from Philadelphia) Market at Castro San Francisco, CA ______________________________________ Built 1948. Served Philadelphia 1948-88. Purchased by Muni 1992. Exterior pain design: Philadelphia (Postwar). The ‘City of Brotherly Love’ first ran PCC streetcars in 1938 (Muni No. 1060 wears the original silver paint scheme). After World War II, Philadelphia Transportation Co. (PTC) ordered two more batches of new PCCs. This car, now Muni No. 1055, was delivered in 1948 wearing this new livery of green, cream, and red. The city later added secondhand cars from Kansas City and St. Louis in the 1950s. Taken over by the public authority SEPTA in 1968, PCCs disappeared in Philly during the early 1990s. Muni bought and rebuilt 14 of SEPTA’s PCCs to inaugurate F-line service in 1995. Inspired in part by the F-line, Philadelphians then demanded restoration of some PCC service in their own town, and got it in 2005 on the 15-Girard line, with the modernized PCCs painted in this historic livery.
