PCC Guy Report post Posted April 25, 2016 As has been the case every year, the full list of locations doesn't get released until May. You may also notice that there are only 13 buildings listed so far, with 130 advertised. Do you think Brad Ross was lying? No registration is required. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drum118 Report post Posted April 26, 2016 I have known since Jan that Leslie Barns would be use for this year open door event, even though next to no info has been posted. As noted, Brad has made it known that the barns is open this year a number of times. Expect a zoo there this year. You have the choice of waiting for the bus from either end to/from Queen or walk it. Based on my experience, you are better off walking to/from the Barns. Since there will be next to nothing in the yard or the car house since most of the cars will be on the road, you will get a clear view of everything. The PCC, Witt along with a CLRV? and ALRV? will be on display. Hoping for the same photo op that was done at Russell before the Beach(es) Easter Parade. One of the new cars will do the yard tour with pans up as far as I know at this time. You will not have a free range to everything there. Final plans will come out a week or 2 before the event. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xtrazsteve Report post Posted April 26, 2016 They could always run a shuttle like they did with the Mount Dennis open house back in 2010. It would probably be an empty yard with a couple left behind streetcars and 4401. That's also a lot of space for whatever even they want to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
16 McCowan Report post Posted April 26, 2016 For the food. Last year at Greenwood, the pop and burger/hotdog prices are less than $10. How much is either the pop, hotdog or burger? 4 hours ago, Xtrazsteve said: They could always run a shuttle like they did with the Mount Dennis open house back in 2010.

Could they use Broadview for the streetcars since Leslie Barns is possibly accessible via the 83 JONES from Donlands IIRC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
