The Peter Witt car was the staple of the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) from 1921 till the PCC cars came in, and they were in service till 1965. The car was designed by the Cleveland Street Railway and named after the commissioner Peter Witt. Most of the TTC cars were built at Canada Car and Foundry in Montreal with some also built by the Preston Car Company (Preston is now part of Cambridge, Ontario) and the Ottawa Car Company.
One car (Number 2766) out of the 575 built was saved and restored, and is still used for occasional excursions.
