Calendar: San Francisco F-Market & Wharves with railcar 1056 close by Don Chee Way & Steuart (2023)PCC Streetcar 1056, honoring Kansas City, turns onto Don Chee Way l Wayne Worden photo August 2023 Building the F-line tracks and overhead was a lengthy and involved process, requiring interaction and collaboration with other city departments, neighborhood groups and more. As Muni's lead project manager, the late Don Chee blended technical expertise, management skills, and diplomacy to get the job done. The F-line connection between the Embarcadero and Steuart Street is named Don Chee Way in his honor. The PCC design evolved over time. After World War ll, rows of small oval shaped windows were added above the side windows, to allow standing passengers to get a glimpse outside. But the president of Kansas City Public Service, Powell Groner, hated the look of the standee windows andtiful livery decreed he would have "none of those little apertures" on his cars. So , St. Louis Car Company built him 160 PCCs without them, including KCPS 515, shown here in 1950. He'd be dismayed to see Car 1056 in his beautiful livery with those "little apertures" (the car itself came to Muni from Philadelphia).
