It is such a magnificent locomotive. I never got to see H2 in steam as I was born in the same year it came out of service in 1994. The last time I looked over H2 was in late 2021, and the loco is in very good condition. Hopefully one day we will get the chance to see it running up the Derwent Valley again. Thank you for sharing these memories.

I visited Pittsburg several times and got to ride the PCC cars near the end of their service while they still ran on the streets Downtown the first time I visited. It was interesting later to see them with pantographs and running in the subway. I did get to ride the route over the hill instead of through the tunnel and thought that was very scenic especially inbound to the city as you saw the skyline of downtown Pittsburgh as you came downhill. I am glad that they did save the south side routes of today but would hope they reopen the hillside route on a regular basis again instead of only using it when maintenance is being done in the tunnel. One thing I did notice particularly on the video with the still shots of the PCC’s you could see why one of the reasons the trolley routes were abandoned. Both the track and the cars themselves looked in bad shape. There was much rust at the bottom of the PCC cars and the track looked poor in many parts of the street running. With poor funding from both the state and counties PAT Transit just could not afford to keep such a large system running. The same could be said about the Philadelphia surface trolley system.
Hi John, Thanks for watching and for your insightful comment. Pittsburgh trolley lines were like nowhere else. I missed the West End, but most of the rest of the system was still running when I first got there. I made many trips after that to enjoy and finally commiserate when lines were closed. Much of the streetcar abandonment was due to specific decisions by management who had interest in operating buses and didn't put much into maintenance. At least some sense prevailed, and the two South side lines were saved as well as the diversion. It's a shame it wasn't more. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😄
What happened to the music???
Hi Tom-b1r9r, Thanks for watching and for your comment. I tried music with some of my videos and didn't really like it. This was the opinion of some of my friends who I showed. I also worried about any copyright issues that might have been involved. In the end, I just decided to go without music. Cheers, tassiebaz

i wonder which of these trolly's are in the town of sandon?
Hi jeffross5424, Thanks for watching and for your question. As far as I can tell Sandon, BC is almost 700 km from Vancouver, well past the limits of the Vancouver transit system. Perhaps there is another Sandon that I didn't see. Cheers, tassiebaz.
I remember these buses however they were restricted to the busiest roads in Calgary at the time (17 ave,Centre Street 1 6 Avenue)
Hi MichaelSmith-c6k, Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😄
Toronto just had burgundy and cream colored cars...so I love seeing those in Pittsburgh photos. But the variety of color schemes in Pittsburgh really makes for some superb pictures! Beautiful... absolutely beautiful! Great compilation of pictures!
Hi again alexsawa2956, I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures and appreciate you taking the time to let me know. Cheers, tassiebaz.😄
Silent video, but I can hear the bell and the sound of the wheels on a curve... I grew up with PCCs in Toronto but visited Pittsburgh for 1st time last month and can imagine a good life there with PCCs connecting all the neighborhoods...
Hi alexsawa2956, Thanks for watching and for your comment. I wish I would've had a video camera back then, but I am grateful for the pictures I was able to take. PCCs in Pittsburgh ran in places where you would never expect to find them. Amazing system. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😃
Brings back memories, living in East Coburg I used to travel on the tram to East Melbourne every day to get to school
Hi markward2824, Thanks for watching and for your comment. I hope that your memories were all good ones. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😃
It’s funny to think that the route went out as far as Simon’s Valley. There must have been an enormous amount of investment in the infrastructure to install that extensive a system. It’s a shame it was all dismantled in the name of “progress” and cheap petroleum, because if it had been kept and maintained the city would now be considered very forward thinking to have all electric buses and a few of the old buses would be a retro novelty for visiting tourists.
Hi entropybentwhistle, Thanks for watching and for your comment. Yes, Calgary was very progressive with regard to trolleybuses until they weren't. Unfortunately, they weren't the only ones. There were trolleybuses in Edmonton, Winnipeg, Halifax, Cornwall, Thunder Bay, Saskatoon, Toronto, Kitchener, Hamilton, Montreal, Regina, Saskatoon, and Ottawa. The only Canadian to retain their trolleybuses is Vancouver. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😄
i regret not having a chance to ride on these wonderful buses, but this video show case bring s back many memories , and i wish i could find a time machine!!!
Hi robertbraxton2168, Thanks for watching and for your comment. I think many of us would like to return to the good old days and be able to appreciate them more. I'm glad you liked the video and appreciate you taking the time to let me know. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😃
I'M GLAD TO SEE THE ROUTE 15 🚎 TROLLEY UP & RUNNING AGAIN AFTER A 5 OR 6 HIATUS!! 😀. THESE TROLLEYS 🚎 WILL ALWAYS BE A TREASURE!! 😀. (CHILDHOOD MEMORIES)!! 😀.
Hi josephcraig3116, Thanks for watching and for your comment. You and everyone else are happy to see the return of trolleys, especially given SEPTA's history in past situations like this. Almost like a miracle. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😄
Meu caro tudo bem com você,comigo tudo ótimo.Acabei de ver este vídeo muito excelente amigo só faltou uma coisa, você mostrou mais a frente do trólebus e esqueceu de mostrar a traseira. Quando você for filmar ônibus, trólebus etc. Não esqueça de filmar a traseira.
Olá @pedidosdma9152, Obrigado por assistir e pelo seu comentário atencioso. Fico feliz que tenha gostado do vídeo e agradeço por ter dedicado um tempo para me avisar. Filme foi usado quando essas fotos foram tiradas, e o número de fotos em um rolo era limitado e havia um custo associado. Sempre achei a vista frontal mais interessante, então a maioria das minhas fotos são tiradas dessa forma. Eu tirei muito poucas da vista traseira. Se câmeras digitais estivessem disponíveis com fotos virtualmente ilimitadas, eu teria tirado mais vistas traseiras. Abraços, tassiebaz😄

8:23 is this Stanwix? Wow does it look different today.
Hi cybernightzero5891, Thanks for watching and for your comment. I'll venture an educated guess that the picture is on Grant near Fifth. I think the 48 Arlington went up Smithfield and back down on Grant. Everything does look very different in the almost 60 years ago since the picture was taken and I'm not a Pittsburgh native. Perhaps someone from the area who has knowledge of the good old days can verify or correct this. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😃

Wish the entire US had electric trains. Oregon lacks those. I guess it comes down to costs. But in the eastern US, they have electric ones. Probably because short distsnces between cities unlike oregon
Hi thealexpshow782, Thanks for watching and for your comment. The Caltrain line between San Francisco and San Jose is in the process of being electrified. Chicago also has electric commuter trains on the old Illinois Central and South Shore lines. Cities are opting for light rail now because of costs and other factors. As you probably know, Portland, Oregon has a nice light rail system. Having said that, Europe is covered with electric trains that have been there for a long time. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😄

I do remember that little tower cottage beside the railway, I'm sure it was part of it but I cannot remember exact location.was it on King and Victoria, or one block north towards Waterloo King? I sure would love some help on this!
Hi stevelauda5435, Thanks for watching and for your question. The time I took the photos was my only visit to Kitchener. Looking at the pictures (I think the one to which you refer is at 3:56), makes it look like the tower was on King where it crossed the railway at grade. I had a look on Google maps and everything has changed since the pictures were taken 54 years ago, so it's hard to match anything up with the pictures. Perhaps someone more familiar with the area can provide a more definitive answer. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😄

Watching the trolley interior is a little boring. You know? PWG
Hi paulgreen6921, Thanks for watching. The intention of this video is to show the interior and a view from the front end. Have a look at my video: ruclips.net/video/8RV6FhUxat0/видео.html for run-bys on Route 56. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😄
I rode the 66 and the ride was really nice. In 1974 my fellow graffiti artists and I graffed the trolley buses and it was a ripper to see our artwork roll by on the 59,66, and the 75. I was 15,going on 16. The reality was that that was the way things were in Philadelphia at that time. I am amazed that trackless trolleys aren’t even a mention in any transit plans broached in North America. I’m appalled that so much money and resources are being wasted on the stupidity of battery electric vehicles.
Hi user-oy2xc7yf4i, Thanks for watching and for your informative comment. As you probably know, SEPTA tried to replace trackless trolleys on routes 29 and 79 in South Philadelphia with electric buses and failed miserably. The buses just couldn't perform. San Francisco, Seattle, and Vancouver all have a large trackless trolley system and are continually getting newer vehicles. I'd be surprised to ever see that happen in Philadelphia. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😄
My dad Jim McCrory operated the rt 15 trolley for 39 years! So amazing to see this.
Hi michaelmccrory634, Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the presentation and appreciate you taking the time to let me know. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😄
I’m so glad to see old no. 73 after all these years. My grandfather was a conductor for the Red Arrow lines and I was a trolley crossing guard at School Lane and Huey Avenue in 1968-1972 from Saint Andrew’s School. I took the Media trolley to and from my music lessons many times a week and loved every time I got on board. As a model railroader I make sure to include brill trolleys on every layout.

They had pretty much all the same road and traffic infrastructure as today, (pavement, sidewalks, traffic signals, storm and sanitary drains, water mains, etc) with fewer taxpayers to pay for it all yet their taxes equivalent were much lower per capita and per property. That generation must have been smarter and much more efficient?…I worked in an Architects office at Oak and Broadway in the early 60’s…Thank you for assembling and posting this history.
Hi elrolo3711, Thanks for watching and for your informative comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the presentation and appreciate you talking the time to let me know. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😄
I rode the 29 end to end maybe 2 times before I moved to NY in 1976. I find it hard to fathom that septa replaced this and the 79 with battery electric busses,how stupid!
Hi user-oy2xc7yf4i, Thanks for watching and for your perceptive comment. And the electric buses failed miserably and were pulled from service. Stupid is a kind word. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😃
I was 7 going on 8 when the 75 was cut back to the el. The line crossed the 56 trolley line and continued to the river. Unfortunately that part of the line was a casualty of I95 just like the el was between Market and Girard..Unfortunately I never got to ride this part of the line.
Hi user-oy2xc7yf4i, Thanks again for watching. At least the El was just relocated and not replaced with a bus (Route J). Before it was shortened, there was no wire on Penn Street from Orthodox to Arrott, so all trips from Wayne Junction had to go to Bridesburg to get back to Frankford. There was a cutback at Orthodox and Edmund, But I don't remember any scheduled trips through there. The service was very frequent, with some headways of only 3 minutes in the rush hour. Right before the route shortening, the wire was installed on Penn Street (current route) with a switch at Orthodox and Penn, so some trips used that. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😁
My Lord, what a complicated overhead mess! No wonder they gave up on these! I rode on a couple of these with my Nana in Cleveland, and I remember the remember the driver getting out to put the poles back on the wires.
Hi davidkean1487, Thanks for watching and for your comment. If the overhead is properly maintained and the operators trained adequately, a system like this works fine with few dewirements. San Francisco and Seattle currently have trolleybus systems with complex junctions and there are no problems. Chicago just wanted to substitute buses as did many cities about that time. Cheers, tassiebaz.
Just saw this for the first time. I moved to Calgary in 1977 and trolley buses were no longer. I lived on 17th Ave SW and 12 St SW so in the video where you show 17th Ave SW and 14th St SW looking east I am sure I can see the old apartment building where I lived and it’s still there!
Hi pistolpat19, Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. I hope this provided some enjoyable memories for you. Cheers, tassiebaz.

Saw my old apartment in Avalon in those pics... looked exactly the same as when I left it. The building was already old when these pictures were taken - it's positively ancient now. So, the streetcars may be gone, but there's still a lot of history to be seen.
Hi angelsy1975, Thanks for watching and for sharing your memories. Interesting that your building is still there. Many of the scenes I photographed look completely different. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😄
Many of these very cars operate here in San Francisco today for historic F line service. Cool to see what they looked like in another time.
Hi greenchevy5764, Thanks for watching and for your comment. I have ridden the cars in both Newark and in San Francisco. These cars were built in 1946-48 for Twin City Rapid Transit Company, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota and sold to Public Service Coordinated Transportation, Newark, NJ, 1953. If you are interested and haven't seen them, I have videos on RUclips of the F line (and the E line) on my channel as well as lots of Philadelphia streetcar videos. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😄
Peter Petrasuk “The man who really cares” on the side of one of the trolleys. I remember that crook who robbed his own mother. I rode the number 3 north on Elbow then switched to the number 7 on my way to work at Frank’s TV on 17th Ave. S.W.

8:54 Car 2800, in addition to the different paint scheme as seen on it and a few others such as 2728, was the highest numbered PCC car on the roster. It was destroyed in 1975, when it and 59 other PCCs burned in the Woodland car barn fire.
Hi RyansColoradoRailPro-ductions, Thanks for watching and for your informative comment. I remember that fire and the unfortunate disastrous results. Cheers, tassiebaz. 😄
I remember that fire, if i recall it was shortly thereafter that they bought some pccs from Toronto, and kept them in the ttc colors. I think that they were numbered 2300 to 2318, though it's been so long I'm no sure anymore. It's hard to believe that so much time has passed.
