Ouch. Another Buck For a Cable Car

No. 1080 arriving back in San Francisco June 24.
F-line boarding island at Fourth Street
No. 529 reproduces the message carried on San Diego’s original PCCs, promoting the streetcar as a way to reach Balboa Park and the zoo. Boosters hope this nostalgia becomes fact in a few years with a streetcar extension through the park. (Muni’s homage to San Diego, PCC No. 1078, doesn’t carry the Balboa Park message because we have a park of that name of our own, but the F-line doesn’t serve it, except on trips to and from the carbarn.)
Market Street near Second, 1930s
We’ve still got a handful seats left for our exclusive trolley tour on Sunday, May 22 from 1-3 p.m. You’ll get a private ride on the F-line with knowledgeable guides from San Francisco City Guides and Market Street Railway describing the history of sites along the way. It’s a great way to spend an afternoon.
