What a wonderful history lesson
He spoke of Eric Humphrey driving the Peter Witt. He did the charters for many years and is a very outgoing person.
I don’t recall if I’ve ever met him, but sounds like a great guy. I miss those charter days, sadly now a thing of the past.
Eric is a very friendly person and is very knowledgeable. He drove PCC 4549 on charters a number of times. He went to the Subways and then retired. George was the other guy that did the charters often. @@fares-please
Eric was Mr Streetcar! Worked with him out of Roncy..
had a house on Spadina.
I live for these vlogs! Such good history!
