I rode these to school from 1963 to 1965 on the Danforth Line. Never experienced a failure.

Hello Phil. Isn’t it funny how things sometimes go full circle, many places here in North America that got rid of trams have been bringing them back. Thanks for watching!

Can't help but notice the sway back and forth on those tracks. They must be in rough shape.

How crazy how they stopped and picked up passengers or let them off while cars were able to pass. Amazed how much of the streets had the electric cables. Thanks for sharing

Thanks guys! The streetcar system hasn’t really changed much since these videos were taken, other than newer streetcars are used now. The routes are pretty much the same.

I believe the PCC-style seating arrangement between the front to the back doors would actually work on the existing bus fleet. It could have more seats on the left than the right almost matching the quantity of seats on the former high-floor non-accessible buses.

I never noticed before some of those older cars were a bit tilted! I wonder if they went too fast there was a risk of them coming off a rail? I never saw a blue streetcar before I’m so used to the red. Another gem in your series! Takes me back to when I was young sigh😂

Thanks Roland. Some of the track was in bad shape, but de-railments didn’t really happen. The blue PCC was to celebrate Toronto’s 150th anniversary. These videos are an interesting glimpse into the past! Glad you enjoy them.
