BHRA PCC # 3321 on recently completed track within the
roadbed of Connover Street. This completed section
of track is the first new trolley / light rail track to
be constructed in a NYC |
|
|
street since well before WWII. To mark to occasion, we brought out PCC # 3321, the last trolley
produced by the Pullman company. This trolley was
originally built for Boston in 1951 and is the last US built trolley to be manufactured and delivered to the east coast. Photo by Brian Kassel ©2002 |
