Calendar: San Francisco cable car Powell-Hyde with cable car 13 at California & Powell (2023)Powell Cable Car 13 crests Nob Hill l Jeremy Whiteman photo
December 2023
One project Market Street Railway helped initiate and continues to champion is the revival of authentic vintage liveries on San Francisco's cable cars. And what better car dress for the holidays than Powel 13, painted in 1906-1921 green and red of United Railroads. The cable car signal tower, just repainted in similar colors, joins in the holiday festivities.
Decorated rail vehicles have a long history in San Francisco. For a number of years in the 1930s, Market Street Railway adorned its all-white private streetcar "San Francisco" for the holidays, often parking it on highly visible sections of non-revenue track Downtown. This shot is from 1935 or 1936 on Second Street at Market.

Calendar: San Francisco F-Market & Wharves with railcar 1079 near The Embarcadero & Sansome (2023)PCC 1079, honoring Detroit, on the Embarcadero, Glen Brewer photo
November 2023
Brick has long been a common building material in Detroit, honored by PCC 1079's livery. It was also used in San Francisco for warehouses and industrial buildings. Until the 1906 earthquake, that is. But there are splendid survivors, such as One Lombard Street, built in 1901 and designed by the famed architect Willis Polk. Now offices, it's on the National Register of Historic Places.
Half a block north and 65 years earlier, the rails on this part of the Embarcadero belonged to the State Belt Railroad, which shuttled freight between ships and mainline railroads along the waterfront. Alco S-2 Switcher 22 shares a frame with the engine roundhouse (right), which is still there but now repurposed as upscale offices.

Calendar: San Francisco E-Embarcadero Steetcar with railcar 496 at The Embarcadero & Ferry Building (2023)Melbourne Tram 496 at the Ferry Building.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of a Melbourne tram running on Muni's tracks-the first Trolley Festival. Since then, one or more of the sturdy, iconic "W-class" trams from Down Under have been part of Muni's historic fleet, continuing to operate over the decades.
Muni's Melbourne trams have been part of several promotional campaigns for their home country, including this one at East Bay Terminal around 1986, promoting Australian tourism. That's Olivia Newton-John standing in the motorman's doorway.

Calendar: San Francisco F-Market & Wharves with railcar 1051 at 17th & Castro (2023)PCC Streetcar 1051, honoring Harvey Milk, at the F-line Castro Terminal.
In 1978, Harvey Milk became one of America's first openly gay elected officials when he joined San Francisco's Board of Supervisors. A staunch advocate of public transit, Milk commuted daily to City Hall from the Castro in Muni PCCs, often painted in this simplified style. Assassinated in November 1978, he was honored by naming a public school and Terminal 1 at San Francisco International Airport for him, and by dedicating this streetcar to him.
Muni's PCCs had to run almost 5 years longer than planned because of delays in procuring new light-rail vehicles for the subway. Some were spiced up, but when Harvey Milk rode them, most were pretty rough-looking, regardless of their paint scheme. At the exact location above, but facing the other direction, the Baby Ten PCC has just emerged from the temporary portal of the Twin Peaks Tunnel to head downtown on the 17th Street detour.

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).

Calendar: San Francisco railcar 1061 near Church & 18th (2023)PCC 1061, honoring Pacific Electric, at Church and 17th Street.
Of the streetcars painted for out-of-town transit agencies, none is more photographed than Car 1061, resplendent in the red, orange, and silver livery of Pacific Electric, Southern California's once-sprawling rail system (owned by Southern Pacific, which also had a similar spectacular livery for some of its passenger trains). Here, the car turns onto non-revenue tracks on 17th Street to reach the Castro Terminal and start its day.
The same intersection from a different angle in 1934, looking south on Church, with 17th Street just beyond, showing J-line Car 46 and the firetruck. The tracks on 17th didn't exist until the 1970s, built as a detour for the K, L, and M lines to reach the Twin Peaks Tunnel while upper Market Street was being dug up to build the Muni Metro subway. The tracks ended up being ideally located for streetcars traveling between the car barn and the F-line Castro terminal.

Calendar: San Francisco F-Market & Wharves with railcar 162 on 17th & Castro (2023)Muni "Iron Monster" 162 turns onto Market Street at Castro l Steve Ferrario photo
June 2023
As soon as it poened in 1912, Muni began expanding, buying 125 new streetcars in 1914 from the Jewett Car Co. of Ohio, including two that survive: Car 130, painted in 1940s blue and yellow livery, and this one, painted in its the green and cream "Wings" livery it wore at its 1958 retirement. Car 162 was purchased by Market Street Railway and returned to Muni 20 years ago.
Car 162 was changed from its original gray and red livery into blue and gold around 1940, then painted into the late 1940s. here it is on the J-Church line at Market and Geary in 1952, sharing the scene with two vehicles built by St. Louis Car Co.: a double-ended "Torpedo" PCC and an 8-Market trolley coach. The 8-line buses were replaced by F-line streetcars in 1995.

Calendar: San Francisco cable car California with cable car 52 at California & Powell (2023)California Street Cable Car 52 crosses Powell l Jim Maurer photo
May 2023
This is the only double-track cable car crossing in the world, on Nob Hill. The California cable line opened i 1878; the Powell lines ten years later. Because cars on both lines were climbing hills and couldn't see the intersection until they were in it, a tower was installed to signal cable cars when it was safe to proceed. This tower was installed in 1907 and renovated with Market Street Railway's help in 2021
Looking down California Street to the Bay just east of inersection, 1881.
The California Street Cable Railroad Company operated these small 2dummy and trailer" two-car cable trains until the early 1890s, when they pioneered the double-end open-and-closed section combination cars of the type widely copied as streetcar bodies, and still seen on California Street as cable cars today.

Calendar: San Francisco railcar 1062 at Church & 18th (2023)PCC Streetcar 1062, in Pittsburgh tribute livery, in Dolores Park l Ian Martin photo
April 2023
Muni's PCC streetcar flett includes cars that originally ran in either San Francisco, Minneapolis-St. Paul (and then Newark NJ), or Philadelphia. Most of PCCs are colorfully painted in accurately repliveries of most of the 33 North American cities that once ran these iconis streetcars. Of these PCC cities, nome had as many challenging hills as Pittsburgh, so it's fitting to show Car 1062 on the Steepest streetcar hill in San Francisco today (about a 9% grade).
The all-time steepest San Francisco electric streecar grade was this one (17%), on Potrero Hill's 24th Street. Here in 1903, a single-truck "Dinky" identical to preserved Car 578 tiptoes down, with only a hand brake brake to stop it. The steepest currest current cabble car grade is on Hyde Street, 21%

A livery is a unique design - including color combinations, stripes, and other patterns, words, and graphics - painted on the city's streetcars. The livery for a large city could be painted on hundreds of vehicles and often remained unchanged for many years.
Imagine that you've been asked to design a new livery for the public transportation system where you live. What colors and patterns would you like to see on your city's streetcars?

Calendar: San Francisco railcar 1895 near Church & 27th (2023)March 2023
The Covid pandemic turned San Francisco's transit world upside down, shutting down the vintage steetcars and cable cars for more than a year. Muni staff would take some of the steetcars out without passengers on occasion to keep them in operating shape. The pandemic also saw proliferration of "parklets" outdoor dining areas, some of them imaginative, like this one meant to resemble a Lisbon tram outside a Portuguese restaurant.
The first Trolley Festival 40 years ago featured two streetcars from Portugal, but from Porto rather than Lisbon. Here, Car 122 leaves the Mint storage yard. This car now runs on Dalles' McKInney Avenue line; Car 189 awaits restoration at Muni.

Calendar: San Francisco F-Market & Wharves with railcar 1040 at Fisherman's Wharf (2023)PCC 1040 at Fisherman's Wharf.
Almost 5,000 of these sleek streetcars were built in North America, with more in Europe. A group of private US transit company executives, known as the Presidents' Conference Committee (PPC), commissioned the original design in the mid-1930s to better compete with the automobile for riders. Muni's Car 1040, delivered in 1952, was the very last one built new.
Here's Car 1040 40 years ago, nose-to-tail with Muni PCC 1128, which had been restored to its original St. Louis livery and number (1704) for the first Trolley Festival. A few years earlier, Car 1040 had been repainted into Muni's then-new Landor livery. Soon, it would be restored to the green and cream it had worn before and has worn ever since.

Calendar: San Francisco cable car Powell-Mason with cable car 15 by Cable Car Museum (2023)Powell Cable Cars 15 and 11 decorated for Lunar New Year l Val Lupiz photo
January 2023
The Cable Car Barn has stood at Washington and Mason Streets since 1887 and for decades has been considered part of Chinatown. Muni workers and volunteers, led by gripman Val Lupiz, decorate cable cars for holidays and special events, including Lunar New Year. Car 15 wears the yellow livery of Powell-Manson line in 1890s; Car 11 ran on Sacramento-Clay line in 1890s and wears the red livery used then for that line.
This is why cable cars built for the Sacramento-Clay line ended up on Powell. This is Washington-Mason cable car barn on April 18, 1906 photographed by John Henry Mentz of United Rairoads. Car 455 was badly damaged by falling bricks before it could pull out for morning. Then it and the rest of the fleet inside were incinerated later that day. But 27 Sacramento-Clay cars, including today's Car 11, were stored outside the fire zone and took over service on Powell.
