Trolley_car_passing_downtown_Pittsburgh_Kaufmann's_store,_1984.jpg


Summary

Description A trolley car/streetcar (tram) passing the flagship Kaufmann's store, in downtown Pittsburgh, in 1984. The trolley (car No. 1754, wearing a paint scheme unique to that one car) was northbound on Smithfield Street at Fifth Avenue. The store became a Macy's in 2006. Streetcar service on surface streets in downtown Pittsburgh ended in July 1985 (about 16 months after this photo was taken), replaced by a new light rail subway. Pantographs had replaced trolley poles on Pittsburgh's streetcars only a few months before this photo, in November 1983. Route "42/38" ceased operating in mid-April 1984, for construction, reopening later as simply "42".
