No. 51 – San Francisco Municipal Railway, 1984-current
This cable car started its life on the O’Farrell, Jones & Hyde line, and was the last car to operate on that line in 1954, carrying protestors decrying the City’s decision to cut the cable car system’s size in half, including rerouting the scenic Hyde Street trackage to run via Washington and Jackson Streets to join the Powell-Mason line. With way too many double-end cable cars now, Muni cherry picked the best ones to run on a newly-shortened California Street line. Car 51 was the very first cable car to operate on the reopened California line in 1957.
No. 52 – San Francisco Municipal Railway, 1984-present

California Street Cable Car 53 was built in 1907 by W.L. Holman Co. of San Francisco, which supplied most of the replacement fleet for the California Street Cable Railroad Co. after the 1906 earthquake and fire, and which five years later built the first ten streetcars for the new Municipal Railway (Muni).
No. 54 – San Francisco Municipal Railway, 1984-current
California Street Cable Car 54 was built in 1907 by J. Hammond & Co. of San Francisco, which supplied the innovative 1890 double-end fleet for the California Street Cable Railroad Co. and many of the replacement cars after the 1906 earthquake and fire. It is the last largely original Hammond car in the fleet (Car 55 was originally built by Hammond but was almost totally rebuilt by Muni in 2023.) Car 54 received a less intensive rebuilding by Muni during the cable car rehabilitation project of 1982-84.
