As a born and raised Baltimorean, I still miss our old PCC streetcars. I lived along one line as a young child and was 13 when the last two lines were converted to bus routes. I watched the cars being pulled out of the Irvington Carhouse to be hauled away as scrap in the Summer of 1964. Evidence of where they ran still exists in the form of rails poking up through worn down asphalt on city streets and power poles that served dual purposes still serving their other purpose - traffic lights, guy wire supports, or simply holding up a traffic sign.
