These trolley models date back to the 1950's, for they're called, PCC which stands for "President Confrence Committee". PCCs have been around since WWI, which, unfortunately, the last surviving WWI cars were destroyed in a fire in Philadelphia on Christmas Eve in the Woodland Depot. What happened to the PCCs in Philadelphia was that they have been shipped off to San Francisco and it's Railway in the 1980s, and departured by saying, "Goodbye Philadelphia" and came back with, "Hello Philadelphia" which is ironic. Some stayed behind at warehouses, broken and torn on the insides and waiting to be destroyed completely. Route 15 is the only surviving route from the PCC era to the PCCII era.

this section was incerted into the article, and well it really didnt seem to fit, so i moved it to the discussion, as it seems more in the line of a comment. I didnt re-write, as i can say i am not entierly sure of the relevance of the information put forth in the comment with the article. It also a bit confusing. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 06:18, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
