TRACTION AROUND NORTH AMERICA
Here's a special photo: it isn't every day you see a streetcar smile.  This is Shaker Heights Rapid Transit #4662, formerly Toronto Transportation Commission #4662, built as Cleveland Transit System #4237.  It is a 1946 Pullman-Standard PCC car, and its many years enduring the Toronto salt has resulted in an extremely weak structure.  Having been stored on a farm near
Buckeye Lake, Ohio, for about 15 years, #4662 is - for all intents and purposes - unsalvageable.
