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 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.

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 - .
