Of the 30 PCC cars acquired by PSCT, I'm trying to determine the disposition of the fleet:

4 were scrapped when the Public Service building in Newark was torn down
2 were purchased by Shaker Heights, 1 subsequently went "home" to Minneapolis
11 were purchased by Muni
1 went to Rockhill
1 went to Shoreline Trolley Museum
1 went to Nevada?
8 went to Bayonne (current status?)

The rest ?

I seen two at the Light Rail yard in Bloomfield, NJ. I haven't seen them for a while (4 Months). They used to move them from time to time, but they mainly stayed on the side of the Maintenance shed.

In regards to #3 and #27 (TCRT #322 and #416), they went to the Minnesota Transportation Museum. We only had the capability to restore one, so #416 was transferred to Seashore. #322 stayed in our collection, was restored over ten years, and was spun off with the rest of MTM's streetcars into the Minnesota Streetcar Museum.
