Mission of Market Street Railway
Market Street Railway’s mission is “Preserving Historic Transit in San Francisco”.
Market Street Railway’s mission is “Preserving Historic Transit in San Francisco”.
The 1934 “boat tram,” No. 228, is the most requested streetcar for charters, but you can reserve any operating streetcar in Muni’s fleet.
The San Francisco Railway Museum is conveniently located where Market Street meets The Embarcadero, in the Hotel Vitale building.
The San Francisco Railway Museum makes a great special event venue for groups up to 45 people. The museum is located at 77 Steuart St, just a half-block away from the Ferry Building, right on the F-Market & Wharves vintage streetcar line, providing unique atmosphere as the electric streetcars glide by (quietly!) every few minutes .
We depend on people like you to keep the past present in the future in San Francisco through your memberships, donations, and volunteer assistance in support of the city’s historic streetcars and cable cars.

OUR MUSEUM IS OPEN 12 NOON-5 PM TUESDAYS THROUGH SATURDAYS. AT THE F-LINE STEUART STREET STOP (77 STEUART STREET BETWEEN MARKET AND MISSION), NEAR THE FERRY BUILDING).
Despite widespread rider outrage and a warning from management, a large number of Muni operators called in sick again today in protest against a contract offer they rejected in a vote last Friday. Under city law, the contract matter now enters binding arbitration, but the unhappy operators aren’t waiting for that to show their displeasure. Muni management last night sent a memo to operators telling them they would not be paid for their alleged “sick days” without a valid doctor’s note.
