The San Francisco Railway Museum is conveniently located where Market Street meets The Embarcadero, in the Hotel Vitale building.
The San Francisco Railway Museum makes a great special event venue for groups up to 45 people. The museum is located at 77 Steuart St, just a half-block away from the Ferry Building, right on the F-Market & Wharves vintage streetcar line, providing unique atmosphere as the electric streetcars glide by (quietly!) every few minutes .

Despite widespread rider outrage and a warning from management, a large number of Muni operators called in sick again today in protest against a contract offer they rejected in a vote last Friday. Under city law, the contract matter now enters binding arbitration, but the unhappy operators aren’t waiting for that to show their displeasure. Muni management last night sent a memo to operators telling them they would not be paid for their alleged “sick days” without a valid doctor’s note.
It has become as predictable as summer fog on Great Highway. If you’re planning a project in the red-hot mid-Market neighborhood, or reporting on it in the media, you’ve simply got to have one of those colorful F-line historic streetcars in the frame.
Maya Angelou has passed away, at the age of 86. As an adult, she gained global fame as a writer. Well before that, as as a teen-ager, she broke barriers right here in San Francisco, when she was hired by our namesake, Market Street Railway, as the first female African-American streetcar conductor in the city.
