Traveling around PITTSBURGH on a PCC Streetcar. 1961 - OLD TROLLEY -PART 1

They had the future in their hands and let it go.
Can you name the PCC Streetcar routes in Pittsburgh. Amateur footage from Pittsburgh in 1961. So much of the found film we come across from Pittsburgh have some trolley content. In fact, we would venture to say that streetcar enthusiasts have done more to document the city during this time than anyone. This is PART 1 of streetcar routes, more to follow throughout the remainder of 2023.

Nice video except for the background music. I especially liked the light blue trolley that was seen briefly. It was a nice change.

I've never been in Pittsburgh but if that past fascinates some of you who grew up in that city but never saw one, i can identify. We had that streetcar system too in LA til the 60's. The red car and the yellow car.

Pittsburgh's trolley system was being dismantled from the late 1950s to the mid 1960s. This is why there is so much footage from that time, People were documenting them before they were gone.

1:38 one can see the WTAE tower looking as I remember it. It looked that way into the 1970s.

I was thinking that looked like the Ardmore Blvd/Parkway interchange. That median still exists today, but has trees instead of trolleys.

That's exactly it! 😊​@@thebestbaseballguy

Looks like it take them awhile to figure out buses were the way to go.
