Good Used Cars

2311 October 26, 1979

Some of the Pullman PCCs bought from Toronto had severe corrosion problems, i.e., they were real rusty. This car is coming apart where the plywood floor meets the dash panel above the anticlimber. Like the ex-Kansas City cars, they were assigned to Luzerne Depot. Here 2311 rolls northbound on Route 50, on Wyoming Avenue in front of the old SEPTA headquarters
