What? Some of us are still hung over from New Year’s Eve, and you’re already thinking of 2026?
Yep.

2025 calendar going fast!
This year marks the 20th anniversary of our popular “Museums in Motion” wall calendar. To celebrate, we’ve included a page showing thumbnails of all 20 calendars. It’s quite a tour of Muni’s historic rail fleet in and of itself. Shout out to our dedicated and most talented designer, David Dugan! (We like that collage of 20 calendar covers so much that we made a 300-piece puzzle out of it.
Shop unique this year
Did you know that much of our merch is ours alone?
Our 2023 calendar is here!
Maybe our best yet. You can get it either at our museum shop any Tuesday through Saturday, Noon – 5 pm (and save the shipping cost) or anytime at our online store. And if you join us for $100 or more annually here, you’ll get the 2023 calendar free! (Current and new members who qualify for the calendar will get it in plenty of time for the new year.)
Unique gifts for SF transit fans
Our online store is the place to get transit-related San Francisco gifts you can’t find anywhere else. And with our physical museum across from the Ferry Building closed by the pandemic, the online store is the ONLY place to find these unique items.
Our 2021 Calendar is Here!
We’d advise ordering this beauty quickly, including any gifts you want to give; we produced fewer than last year because of the uncertainty of when our San Francisco Railway Museum will reopen, so for now it’s only available online. Here’s the link to our store, if you don’t need any convincing (and why would you, with 13 eye-popping color photos of Muni’s historic streetcars and cable cars in action on the streets of San Francisco!) (Tip: you can get it free as a membership benefit. Read on!)
You need this mask!
Countless San Francisco commuters have probably taken a few moments to ponder this simple statement, which has been posted near the operator’s station of every Muni bus and streetcar since the early 1960s. The message is simultaneously friendly and forbidding, inviting yet indifferent, personable yet coldly professional.
Giving Tuesday: can you help?
Today is Giving Tuesday, a day promoted around the world to focus people’s attention on the needs of many kinds addressed by nonprofits. We at Market Street Railway know full well, especially right now, that there are urgent needs everywhere. We hope you’ll be able to spare a little something for charities in San Francisco, or wherever you’re reading this, that are helping with the Covid-19 pandemic or other human needs.
Pier 39 is now E/F-line terminal for at least a year
This morning, operators on Muni’s E-Embarcadero and F-Market & Wharves historic streetcar lines started rolling their destination signs past “Fisherman’s Wharf” and stopped at “Pier 39”, the big visitor attraction a block east of what’s traditionally considered the Wharf. And those Wharf destination signs are supposed to stay dark for at least a full year, maybe longer, while the city makes changes to three blocks of Jefferson Street, from Powell to Jones, changes that do NOT include the F-line tracks or overhead wires themselves.
Crazy Day on the Waterfront
Yesterday (July 25) was an action-packed day on the waterfront, and included an opportunity seized, and one missed. Here’s what went down.
