PCC minimum curve radius
Post Body
I was looking at a wikipedia page of the minimum turn radii of various systems — both the MBTA Green Line and the Newark Subway have a minimum curve radius of 33 feet. I know both of these systems operated PCC streetcars extensively over many decades, however, the numbers on what the minimum curve radius a PCC can navigate seem to be well above 33 feet. Did curve radius vary between the different iterations of the PCC that were built? I know they could vary fairly extensively in length.
