Comments on: Two lads on a bicycle meet TTC PCC 4280 (A5-class car, built by CC&F in 1945), operating on an eastbound King run heading northbound up Broadview Avenue at Bain, passing by the new Holy Eucharist Ukrainian Catholic Church (completed a year earlier). The yellow card on the dash likely read “Broadview Station”, as the rollerblind destination signs on older cars facing retirement may not have been updated with the new subway station names in 1966. The end for many of the TTC’s early air-electric PCC streetcars was days away: 4280 would be one of the old air-electric PCCs rendered surplus a few days later by the opening of the Bloor-Danforth extensions in 1968 (eliminating the Bloor and Danforth “shuttle” runs operated with streetcars since 1966), and subsequently end up as one of the cars sold to Alexandria, Egypt in 1968.
