It’s going to take even longer before you see this sight every day. E-line service won’t be full-time until 2016.

E-Embarcadero Updates
Our E-line Vision Gaining Attention
Recently restored E-line PCC streetcar No. 1008 switches off the F-line tracks onto the connector track that will take it the rest of the way on The Embarcadero during America’s Cup service August 25, 2013. The special E-line connector track has been in place almost a decade, waiting for the full-time startup of the line. Refurbishment of this car and others allows for full time E-line service to begin as soon as Muni funds it. Brian Leadingham photo.

“E for Effort” — Hectic Weekend Taught Lessons
A conga line of buses, Milan trams and PCCs lines up to turn around at Pier 39 while the Wharf portion of the E and F lines was closed for a parade on Sunday — one of the many challenges facing Muni on an extraordinary weekend.
Car 1 on the F-line! Get Out and Ride!
The big Fleet Week/America’s Cup/Giants Playoff weekend is under way, complete with E-line service. It includes the first regular passenger service for Muni’s Car No. 1, its very first streetcar, since its rebuilding. This surprise appearance by No. 1, apparently operating on the F-line between 11th Street and Fisherman’s Wharf, follows a ceremonial debut earlier this year and a couple of charters, including one for our Market Street Railway members. Here’s how to find out whether Car No. 1, shown on the screenshot below, is on the street as you read this, and which other streetcars are out on the E- and F-lines this weekend.
