Historical Streetcars |
77 Steuart Street (@ the F-line stop) San Francisco, CA 94105 +1 415 974 1948 http://www.streetcar.org/ |
This museum and specialty shop embodies San Francisco's transportation history with everything from a reconstructed portion of a Market St. Railway Co. '100-class' streetcar to cable car note cards designed by local artists. Enjoy pictures of the famous ferry-building streetcar loop, fare boxes and a Wiley 'birdcage' traffic signal, which allows attendees to see how intersections were patrolled over 100 years ago. Striving to be an interactive museum, knowledgeable docents give talks and answer questions while a resourceful database with an audio/video touch screen is on hand to further educate. If the J-street cars or Powell street trolley cars have always been of interest then enter this museum, which explains their evolution and continues to pave their future. Review © 2009, Wcities |
