1945 subway car used until the late 1980s, that's been restored and is in the Rockhill Trolley Museum, Pennsylvania was part of a New Jersey city scam, as what else have NJ politicians ever done?



the president of TCRT, as well as another company official and the owner of a local scrap firm all were later convicted in federal court on fraud and associated charges related to the rapid dismantling of the TCRT streetcar system, in order to replace streetcars with buses. 

New management took over TCRT in 1949, and was successful in finding buyers for its virtually new PCCs, selling the cars at bargain prices. 

Mexico City took the lion’s share, while Cleveland’s Shaker Heights Rapid Transit bought 20. Public Service Coordinated Transport, predecessor of New Jersey Transit, bought 30 cars for the Newark City Subway.
