White Christmas, Streetcar-style!

Historic PCC No. 1040 Leaves for Restoration
The last of almost 5,000 PCC-type streetcars to be built in North America is on its way to rebirth. Streetcar No. 1040, delivered to Muni new in 1952 as the final production streetcar of its kind built in the U.S., left Muni’s Metro East facility December 4 en route by truck to Pennsylvania, where it will be completely rehabilitated by Brookville Equipment Company.
Family and Member Days at the Museum Dec. 19-20
We’re rolling out the red-and-green welcome mat for members and friends at our San Francisco Railway Museum the weekend before Christmas. There’s something appealing for all ages!
Some Things to be Thankful For

First PCC Streetcar Leaves for Rehab
In this case, it needs to recover its nervous system. Streetcar No. 1071, painted in the original livery it ran in when new in Minneapolis-St. Paul in the late 1940s, left Muni’s Geneva Division today for a cross-country trip to Brookville Equipment Company in Pennsylvania where it will be completely rewired.
Happy Centennial, Cliff House!
