Toronto Trancit Commission
Peter Witt Car # 2778

Toronto Transit Commission Peter Witt Car # 2778 was built by the Canadian Car & Foundry Company in 1923. One of the "short" class P-1 cars meant to operate without a trailer, 2778 served Toronto, Ontario until retirement in 1964. Mechanically and aesthetically this car is very similar to contemporary Peter Witt cars built and operated in Cleveland. Because no Cleveland Witt cars have survived, this car is as close as we can come to documenting this vital step in Cleveland's transit history.
