Both regular operation and charters are part of our North American tour, which spans the late 1930s to 1970 along with a few postscript items bridging the new century. This was truly a different time in America, a time when you grabbed your lunch pail and caught the street car a block or two from your home and rode to work with ease and style. Some of America’s largest cities continue to operate trolley lines, trams or light rail. A few are even using PCC cars! You can still see these proud old cars running in Boston (Mattapan Line), Kenosha, Philadelphia, San Diego and San Francisco (the F Line, or Market Line). If you live in, or go to, one of those cities, you can ride the past – today!
