Over on the Spacing Toronto blog, I have discussed where some of Toronto's old PCC streetcars have gone after serving duty. Five ex-TTC streetcars are in active service in Kenosha, Wisconsin, one being reused as a seating area for a rural burger joint, and one sits rusting in a field between Hamilton and Guelph. I got to visit another member of the Toronto PCC dispora, in Phoenix, Arizona. PCC 4607, rebuilt in the 1980s and retired in 1995, was one of two streetcars shipped down to the Grand Canyon State. One is in active storage in Tucson as part of that city's heritage streetcar route (more on that in a later post), and one sits along side two old Phoenix city buses in front of the downtown bus terminal, protected from vandals by a metal fence. Metro Light Rail Phoenix is also the latest US city to build a new light rail system. There is a single, 32-kilometre long route that connects most of the region's main trip generators - Uptown Phoenix, a secondary office cluster and the cultural district; Downtown Phoenix, Sky Harbor Airport (via a shuttle bus), Downtown Tempe and Arizona State University. It also barely enters Mesa, North America's second largest suburban municipality (after first-place Mississauga, Ontario and just larger than third-place Brampton, Ontario). Further extensions may take the LRT to the large Metrocenter Mall to the northwest and Downtown Mesa to the east.
