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.

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 - .
