Happy New Year!
I have accidentally dug up a rare treat for Toronto transit enthusiasts:
Original 1943 full color film of Peter Witt streetcars in original service!
That's pre-PCC!

In living color, not merely black and white.
Including interiors, while in motion, from passenger's view!
Direct jumps to specific location in film:
YouTube 1:16 -- Streetcar Two-Vehicle Consist, at Hudson Bay Company
YouTube 0:26 -- Streetcar Two-Vehicle Consist, on Front at Toronto Union Station
YouTube 3:15 -- Streetcar Interior, Facing Rear
YouTube 3:26 -- Streetcar Interior, Facing Front
Or alternatively, for the whole film (not just the streetcars), from start to end:
