Muni Heritage Weekend, jointly sponsored by us and Muni’s parent, SFMTA, is ON again this year.
Ride into the past: Muni Heritage Weekend Sept. 20-21
Blackpool
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).
Boat Tram Marks Market Street’s New Era
Can a tram be entrancing? Sure seemed that way yesterday at the ceremony at the foot of Market Street celebrating the elimination of private automobiles on San Francisco’s main thoroughfare.
Boat Tram to Help Celebrate Car-free Market, Jan. 29
At 11 a.m. on Wednesday, January 29, Market Street will wave good bye to private automobiles from 10th Street to the Ferry. The boat tram will help.
Boat Tram Sails Again
Blackpool (England) Boat Tram 228 is scheduled to resume its special service on the waterfront Tuesday, August 13 at 11 a.m., following a time in “dry dock” for motor repairs. You can ride the boat Tuesdays and Wednesdays the rest of August and into September between our San Francisco Railway Museum (across from the Ferry Building) and Fisherman’s Wharf between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Boat Tram Still Sidelined
Update: 1928 Melbourne Tram 496 will continue to substitute for 1934 Blackpool (England) Boat Tram 228 on The Embarcadero Tuesday and Wednesday, July 16-17, while Muni maintenance crews analyze the problem with one of the motors or bearings. We will provide updates on the progress of fixing the boat tram as available.
Boat Tram About to Land
You may have already caught a glimpse of it along the J-line, or Market Street, or The Embarcadero, this week. Here are a couple of shots from Jeremy Whiteman’s Behind the Lens Facebook Group.
