PCC Parade

The second in a series of programmes assembled to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of America's much-admired revolutionary streamliner - the PCC (Presidents' Conference Committee). Production of the PCC extended from 1936-1952 with some 5,000 being built. Footage on this DVD shows Concutti Street Railway which was the last north American City with double overhead wires as well St Louis in both the first and last year of operation. We visit Dallas, San Francisco, Johnstown and Montreal among other places. Cars include original and second hand, Iron Monsters and Golden Chariots among others. We take more look at the history of the PCC cars and also look at what has happened to them today.
