The 47D Drake (often abbreviated as the 47D) was a PCC trolley line that was part of the Pittsburgh Light Rail system. HistoryThe 47D was the last line in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to be used solely for PCC streetcars. It originally was part of an interurban trolley line that ran from Pittsburgh to Washington, PA[1] until 1953, when the service was cut back to the Allegheny County border at Drake[2] and all trolleys turned using the newly constructed loop, situated below the trestle.[3][4] The line to Drake became part of the 36 Shannon-Drake until the 1980s. After the 1993 closure of the Overbrook route the service became a shuttle between Castle Shannon and Drake and was renumbered 47D Drake shuttle. The line closed on September 4, 1999. {{As of|2014|07}}, most of the Drake Line still exists. The stretch of track from the Drake Loop to the "S" curve near the former Walthers stop was removed not long after the line was discontinued. When Port Authority of Allegheny County took delivery of new LRVs for use on the rebuilt Overbrook line in 2004, the new cars were tested on the Drake line prior to entering revenue service.Fleet{{main|Port Authority 4000 Series PCC}}During the final years of operation, three PCCs were used with a fourth kept as reserve. Car #4004 was donated to the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum where it has become part of a collection of historic streetcars and trolleys from all across the United States and other nations.[5] San Francisco MUNI acquired #4008 and #4009 in an internet auction in 2002[6] for $5,000 each. However, they are low on the priority list for a return to service as they need to be re-gaged and differ significantly from other MUNI PCCs.[7] References1. ^{{cite book |url=http://eldorapark.com/trolley/era-forward.htm |title=Electric Railroads, Number Twenty |publisher=Electric Railroaders Association, Inc. |location=Lackawanna Terminal, Hoboken, New Jersey |date=July 1952 |accessdate=June 6, 2009 }} {{Port Authority of Allegheny County}}{{Use mdy dates|date=May 2012}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://web.presby.edu/~jtbell/transit/Pittsburgh/Drake/ |title=Pittsburgh's Last PCC Streetcars: The Drake Shuttle (Route 47D) |author=Bell, Jon |date=August 19, 2007 |accessdate=July 23, 2008 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080716073233/http://web.presby.edu/~jtbell/transit/Pittsburgh/Drake/ |archivedate=July 16, 2008 |deadurl=yes |df=mdy-all }} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://lists.dementix.org/files/pittsburgh-railways/18%20WP-832%203756%20M1%20OB%201714%20Drake%20Loop%2019540207%20RSchramm.jpg |title=West Penn trolley crossing the Drake trestle on the way to the trolley museum in Arden |year=1953 |accessdate=October 3, 2010}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://lists.dementix.org/files/pittsburgh-railways/02-Track%20Drake%20Loop%20Construct%201953xxxx%2001.jpg |title=Drake loop under construction |year=1953 |accessdate=October 3, 2010}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.pa-trolley.org/Roster/4004.htm |title=Pennsylvania Trolley Museum - Port Authority Transit Car #4004 |date=October 17, 2007 |accessdate=October 9, 2010| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20101105193658/http://pa-trolley.org/Roster/4004.htm| archivedate= November 5, 2010 | deadurl= no}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.streetcar.org/mim/spotlight/world/pittsburgh/pastime/index.html |title=Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: PCC past-time |author=Laubscher, Rick |author-link=Rick Laubscher |year=2007 |accessdate=March 11, 2008 }} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.streetcar.org/blog/2008/08/sixteen-pccs-car-no-1-out-for.html |title=Market Street Railway - Sixteen PCCs Out for Renovation Bids |author=Rick Laubscher |author-link=Rick Laubscher |date=August 1, 2008 |accessdate=August 8, 2009}} 1 : Port Authority of Allegheny County |
