2070 at Woodland Depot. This is the sole PTC streamliner repainted into the colors of the GMC "Old Look" buses bought by the National City Lines-influenced management for PTC "rails to rubber" conversions from 1955 to 1958. For a brief period, 2070 was green below an orange belt rail with white roof and window surrounds. It was a striking contrast to the green, cream and maroon belt rail of most all other PCCs. The bus color experiment on 2070 never was duplicated elsewhere in the rail fleet
