PCC Cars
on Market Street's F-Line
in San Francisco

USA | Californien/California

The F-Line builds on the five sucessful summers of the San Francisco Historic Trolley Festival (1983-87), a joint effort of the San Francisco Municipal Railway (MUNI) which operates the City's transit system, and Market Street Railway, a non-profit organization supporting San Francisco's historic transit operations.
Forming the bulk of the F-Line fleet are 17 refurbished cars, including 14 single-end vehicles from Philadelphia's Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority (SEPTA). Each car bears the paint scheme of a U.S. city which operates this most successful of streetcars. The PCC are suplemented by a number of antique trolleys from San Francisco and abroad.
The PCC (Presidents' Conference Committee) car was designed by electric railway leaders in the early 1930's to bring modern looks and technology to streetcars. The Art Deco-styled PCCs ran in many cities, including San Francisco. Their upholstered seats and smooth ride soothed millions of passengers in 35 years of service here.
