Summer vintage streetcar service UPDATES

UPDATE: “Special Guest Streetcar” service is operating Friday, August 22, with its first trip leaving Castro and Market around 12:30 p.m. Milan Tram 1815, in all its 97-year old Italian glory, is the car of the day but unfortunately does not appear on our exclusive live streetcar map. There will be NO F-line streetcar service Saturday-Sunday, August 23-24 (buses instead), so that Muni and PG&E can conduct work on Church Street, the route the F-line cars use in and out of service (the J-Church line is similarly bus-ified this weekend).

The fall of Market Street Railway

May 15, 1932 was perhaps the peak of San Francisco’s streetcar era. True, a few unimportant lines had been abandoned in the previous few years, but on this day, San Francisco celebrated a brand-new streetcar line: Market Street Railway’s 31-Balboa. It would be the last new line with substantial new trackage until the F-line opened along the Embarcadero to Fisherman’s Wharf 68 years later.

It was 25 years ago this month…

…that the F-Market streetcar line became the F-Market & Wharves streetcar line, with the opening of the extension from First and Market Streets to Jones and Beach, connecting Downtown to the Ferry Building, The Embarcadero, and Fisherman’s Wharf. On March 4, 2000, the extension created what we call the “Steel Triangle” of rail: the two Powell cable lines and the F-line.
