Today (Saturday, April 12) is a special day at our San Francisco Railway Museum. From 11 a.m. through mid-afternoon, we’ll be holding a sidewalk sale of transit and railroad books, photos, memorabilia, and ephemera right outside the museum just across from the Ferry Building (F-line Steuart Street stop).

New Streetcar Book Signing at Museum April 12
No Streetcars on the F Saturday, February 22
The F-line will be operated solely with buses on Saturday, February 22, so that a number of projects can be carried out on Market Street. This includes completion of the removal of the old switches that led to and from the now-vanished Transbay Terminal (specifically, the switch at Fremont and Market), plus utility work at Spear and Market and crosswalk repair at Third and Market. F-line buses will operate on Market, except between First and Fremont inbound, where they will detour via Mission. Trolley coaches will be replaced by motor coaches along Market, as the overhead wires will be deenergized between Tenth and Steuart.

Building a better Market Street
NOTE: This article was written for our member magazine, Inside Track, in 2013. Seven years later, after continuous planning for extensive changes to Market Street, City department heads announced there was no money available for most of the envisioned changes, due largely to the Covid-19 pandemic’s impact on city finances.
Reminder: It’s Muni Heritage Weekend
Scenes such as this will be common this weekend. Taken during Muni’s centennial celebration last weekend, this lineup at Market and California Streets shows (left to right) trolley coach No. 776 (1950), Muni’s Car No. 1 (1912), PCC No. 1006 (1948), and behind the trees to the right, O’Farrell, Jones & Hyde Streets cable car No. 42 (1906).
