PAT Transit in Pittsburgh, uses 6 refurbished PCC streetcars, on the
Allentown line. These cars have always been in Pittsburgh though. They
were not "imported" from outside. They are part of the 666 PCC cars that
were in Pittsburgh in the past. (That is 666, meaning the number of PCC
cars that were ordered for Pittsburgh over the years. No other meaning to
the number)
