"Baltimore" car back in San Francisco

Thanks to the Market Street Railway blog, we've got an update on the latest news with the Muni PCC fleet: namely that car 1063, the "Baltimore" car, is back from its latest Brookville rebuild. (This is what, maybe the car's third major rebuild following the 1980s SEPTA GOH and 1995 MK rebuilding jobs?) Anyway, the car is no longer in simplified National City Lines yellow and grey but is now in the much more attractive prewar Baltimore livery of blue-green and cream with an orange belt rail. The post makes it clear that the photographs are color-shifted and that the actual car is much less blue than the photos make it look.

In turn, car 1061, the "Pacific Electric" car, has been transported to Brookville for its rebuilding job. Both 1061 and 1063 have had their records updated in the PNAERC list.
