Pittsburgh Streamlined Trolleys covers the history of the trolley
car system that once had the third largest fleet of Presidents'
Conference Committee trolley cars in North America. Pittsburgh
Railways Company was very innovative and constantly made design
improvements in its trolley cars. This led to increased ridership,
as these streamlined trolleys were quiet, fast, and had comfortable
seating. With the increased use of automobiles, ridership declined.
After the Port Authority of Allegheny County took over Pittsburgh
Railways, most of the trolley routes were abandoned. However, a
number of trolleys were refurbished with paint schemes that
included psychedelic commercial advertising and community messages.
The last runs of these trolleys occurred in 1999, and new light
rail vehicles are now in service.
