The PCC(s) will operate from 11:30AM to 7:30PM, in regular revenue service. In the past two years, the TTC has sporadically operated PCCs on the 509 route, particularly during the long weekends.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the rebuilt PCCs were originally intended to operate on the original 604 Harbourfront Route (later renumbered 510 and incorporated into the Spadina Streetcar in 1997), as Toronto&#8217;s answer to San Francisco&#8217;s F-Market\/Embarcadero heritage streetcar route. Complaints from residents about the noise of turning streetcars, ended that idea, and cutbacks eliminated all but 2 PCCs from the fleet. Normally, these cars are only available for (expensive) charter trips, so this is a nice small gesture.<\/p>\n<p>On a related note, for this year&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/wx.toronto.ca\/inter\/culture\/doorsopen2009.nsf\/BuildingsAll?OpenView\">Doors Open Toronto<\/a>, on Saturday, May 23, the TTC will have two facilities open to the public from 12PM to 5PM: the Greenwood Subway yards, and the Eglinton bus garage near the corner of Warden and Eglinton. Previously, the TTC opened up the Harvey Shops (on Bathurst Street) and Lower Bay to the public, so it is interesting to see a different rotation this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heads up to all you streetcar fans out there: Starting this Sunday (May 11), the TTC will operate one or both of its two remaining PCC streetcars on the 509 Harbourfront route up, every Sunday until Labour Day, Monday September 6.
