Philadelphia started shutting down the trolley system in the mid-80's in to the mid-90's. More than a few of the PCC cars went to San Francisco for their new Market St. line all refurbished and painted in the original city livery. Fun to ride.
And Philadelphia restored one line...#15 Girard...starting in early 2000 or so with 18 refurbished PCC cars. It finally opened in 2005. Nice article here;
