This is so lovely; it was a more leisurely era when trolley travel was a graceful, efficient way to travel. I wish that I was around at that time! Thank you for this wonderful trip down memory lane!

Allen those are classic videos of thing that were and are no more. I vaguely remember riding a rail trolley in the early 1950's in Columbus Ohio. They were replaced by trolley buses shortly after that. These were replaced by stinking, foul smelling diesel buses in the early 1960' or maybe late 1950's. BTW, I love your musical choices.

Gene Schmitt appears to be driving a 1952 Dodge Coronet. Great photography for its time on an amateur basis.

Awesome video! The classy music went very well with the Vintage/Art Deco style Streetcars!!

And now they've returned to Sydney, Australia. Melbourne, Australia chose to retain theirs; they add character to a city.

So cool. I grew up in Dallas in the 50's and 60's and I remember these running down Bryan Ave to downtown Dallas. I didn't realize they were streetcars, I thought they were electric buses. I guess both descriptions fit. I remember that often after a driver took a turn at a major intersection with multiple wires, sometimes the contacts would fail to follow the wire and the driver had to run to the back and tug on the wires to reseat the contacts. I can't imagine doing that during a Texas rainstorm but I'm sure they did. Yikes! Thanks so much for sharing.

PCC street cars are the best looking!

Thank you for sharing!

thanks made my sick day much better

I was hoping to see one of the Louies in the Cleveland section.

Ole “Skippys’” music hit a time warp back to 1950s Cleveland? 😮 PWG

Its a shame no museums did not get them

I love the music accompaniment! What is the song played during Atlantic City?

Kansas City has the largest system in the country behind San Francisco and Chicago

How did the street cars switch from track to track . The junctions seemed not to have movable track components ? Thank you for this wonderful video .

Would love to know where the specific street locations were, especially on the private right-of-ways, and if any trace of them is left.

I didn't know that double ended PCC's existed.

LOVE LOVE LOVE EM! You know? PWG

next time the us auto companies come in front of congress begging for money, this should be shown to gm chrysler and ford .

need Chicago and los angeles

we used to be a real country cars have done incredible things for the economy, but at the same time the dependence on them has destroyed so many cities and downtowns

Bellissimo video. UP Iscritto al canale. Ricambi?
