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.

Model tram: San Francisco Cable Car Museum (2021)The models, in this case, are part of a more extensive collection of cable car models built by Dr. George Rahilly between 1969 and 1972. Rahilly built 57 models to represent every type of cable car operated in San Francisco. The first 14 of the models were displayed at the San Francisco Wells Fargo History Room in 1971. In 1973 the models were presented to the City of San Francisco. After the reconstruction of the cable car system and the restoration of the Car Barn in 1984, the models were deeded to the San Francisco Cable Car Museum for permanent display.
Market Street Cable Railway Company RPO CAR.
In late 1800, the U.F. Postal Service developed the "railway post office car" (RPO car) in cooperation with various railway companies. RPO cars were in service long before using trucks or other vehicles to deliver mail. These cars performed several jobs.
Omnibus "Open Car" - no. 104.
The "open" design was most famous for cable cars at the turn of the century, although it was introduced with home-drawn equipment.
MSR Car No. 15.
Car no. 15 was a large-tram car similar to no. 33 and nor. 103. The Market Street Railway assigned car no. 15 to the Hayes Street line, which ran from the Ferry Building along Market Street to Hayes Street (at 9th and Market) and continued past City Hall to the east end of Golden Gate Park.
United Railroads Car No. 2.
This model sorts a larger version of the "California"-type car. Cars of this type were rebuilt from open cars of the Market Street line and ran from 1906 to 1942. They proved to be very unpopular with gripman, who considered them too big, too "chunky," heavy, hard to stop, etc.By San Francisco Cable Car Museum, Silas Boye Nissen - .

San Francisco Cable Car - Complete Ride on Powell-Hyde line (2014)A complete journey on the scenic Powell-Hyde cable car line in San Francisco, filmed from the front of the running board. Starting at the Powell Street turnaround at Market St, the cable car travels through the heart of the city as it climbs and descends Nob Hill and Russian Hill on its way to Fisherman's Wharf.
Highlights include passing through Union Square, the crooked Lombard Street, and enjoying a great view of Alcatraz in the Bay, accompanied by the sound of a fun and vocal crowd on board. For clarity, I have not edited out the stops, but you can skip the longer ones if you prefer.By Curious2travel - .
