Nostalgia & History > Forty Plus Years Ago (60) - SHRTDate: 01/26/20 11:43 Forty Plus Years Ago (60) - SHRT Author: refarkas Here is an image (and a closer crop) of the east end of the Shaker Heights Rapid Transit Van Aken line. This was taken in the late 1960's/early 1970's in Cleveland. From left to right are SHRT 74, 45, 65, 48, 84, and 77. PCC car SHRT 74 at the far left has its doors open to load riders. The rest are inside the turnback loop.
1.) A wider look. 2.) A closer crop. Bob   Date: 01/26/20 12:42 Re: Forty Plus Years Ago (60) - SHRT Author: gcm Nice shots.
That's a lot of PCC cars ! Gary Date: 01/26/20 13:25 Re: Forty Plus Years Ago (60) - SHRT Author: EL833 Cool stuff Bob- you should try to do some "then and now" photos, so much has changed...

PCC was one time design by committee worked. ALLEN Date: 01/26/20 14:06 Re: Forty Plus Years Ago (60) - SHRT Author: refarkas It has been many years since I was there. I'll let a younger railfan show what this looks like now.
