Reference Sites For PCC Cars Pre/Post Cars

[One of One-Sixty]

After checking out 3rdRails series of PCC trolleys, I decided to do some research on them.  I have spent the night looking for information about the Prewar and Postwar PCC trolleys, but most sites says the same things.  Mainly about how some cities had them with San Fran and Tronto as well as Philly being the cities which are currently using them.

Does anybody have any good reference links, specs or diagrams including books and old mags (that I can hunt for)?

Baltimore has a pretty good streetcar museum, but I'm not sure how much they have on-line.

You could also try the National Capital Trolley Museum, near DC.

There was a comprehensive book simply titled "The PCC Car", IIRC. Try looking for that title on Amazon or Abe's Books. BTW, they are not really pre or post war. The cars were built by St. Louis Car and Pullman to slightly different designs, and some of the cars without standee windows ("pre-war") were actually built after World War II.

Also, you might Google "Presidents Conference Committee" car, which is what "PCC" stands for.
