As with the other PCCs we have seen over the past few weeks this car was acquired by Muni in 1992 and after restoration in 1993 it entered service on the \u201cF\u201d line when this opened. Whilst we see this car in September 1996, <strong>1056<\/strong> has gone on to be the least used of the PCCs acquired for the opening of the \u201cF\u201d line (except for <strong>1054<\/strong> which was involved in a collision with a LRV in 2001 and deemed uneconomic to repair) having itself been involved in an accident in the early 2000s and then withdrawn in 2010 after a fault was found. It has since enjoyed a second renovation during 2016 and returned to action in 2017. <strong>1056<\/strong> carries a \u201ctribute\u201d livery for Kansas City Public Service Company as we see in the following three images, which includes a reverse end shot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=34156\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-34156\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-34156\" title=\"1.1056-gl\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1.1056-gl-550x366.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1.1056-gl-550x366.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1.1056-gl.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=34157\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-34157\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-34157\" title=\"2.1056-gl\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2.1056-gl-550x366.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2.1056-gl-550x366.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2.1056-gl.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_34158\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=34158\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-34158\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34158\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-34158\" title=\"3.1056-gl\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3.1056-gl-550x366.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3.1056-gl-550x366.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3.1056-gl.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-34158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">All Photographs by Garry Luck<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today\u2019s \u201cAround the World in Trams\u201d again features a PCC in service in San Francisco, with this one running in a \u201ctribute\u201d livery to Kansas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[63],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34155"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34155"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34155\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34160,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34155\/revisions\/34160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
