6201-6720 Series RT Cars
It was quickly decided that the surface PCCs, which were made surplus by the conversion to non rail transit, would not be acceptable for rapid transit service. In 1954, these cars began to be traded in to St. Louis Car for parting out to be used in the construction of cars similar to the first 6000s. Included were trucks, seats, windows, electrical equipment, etc. The last group were built in 1959. During this period, all of the older wooden cars were retired. These cars have all been retired with a substantial number in museum service..
