Philadelphia PCC cars for sale
News comes from Craigslist, via RyPN, that the six SEPTA PCC cars stored in northeast Philadelphia are for sale. These cars were purchased by an individual in 1996 and for a few years were stored in an empty lot at Swanson & Wolf in South Philadelphia. In 2004 they were moved to the lot in back of the Cuneo Press site on East Erie Avenue, lined up facing the Northeast Corridor where they have been spotted by countless commuters in the decade or so since. During that period the cars have steadily deteriorated; they appear to be in virtually derelict condition at this point. Whether they'll find a taker seems doubtful but remains to be seen. For the time being all cars have been noted as being "for sale."
