PCC Streetcars in the Streets of San Francisco

Until 1982 PCC cars ran regular service on the streets of San Francisco until the subway below Market Street took over all services. The tracks in Market Street were retained however and used for Trolley festivals with vintage streetcars during summertime. In 1995 a permanent F-Market line was opened with PCC cars painted in colours from American cities where this type of streetcar once served. In 2000 the F line was extended to Fisherman's Wharf. In 2008 a second heritage line E-Embarcadero was opened between Fisherman's Wharf and Caltrain Railway station.
