Fifth rebuilt El Paso PCC completed

The fifth of the six El Paso prewar PCC cars being remanufactured by Brookville for use on the yet-to-open heritage streetcar line in El Paso is now en route home from Pennsylvania. Car 1515, built in 1937 as San Diego Electric Railway 524, has been in Brookville since 2016 and leaves with all-new trucks, motors, control, and brakes, plus air-conditioning and a pantograph. The six El Paso rebuilds wear three historically accurate liveries, two cars per livery, from their home city. Car 1515 is the first to wear the third of those liveries: classic National City Lines "fruit salad" colors of yellow, green, and white. The only car yet to be completed, car 1511, will also wear these colors. Meanwhile the earlier cars to be completed have been operating on test trips in El Paso prior to the start of service.
