streetcars, san francisco

san francisco, like melbourne, has a system of streetcars (trams) that run around the city.  these are different to the cable cars, which are pulled by an underground cable up and down hills.  streetcars are electrified like those in melbourne.

there are a number of antique street cars running in san francisco, including two W class trams from melbourne.  inside each car is a brief history of the street car and where it used to run.

the street car pictured is from louisville kentucky.  the history of the car can be found here.  this car was travelling along the south end of market st, san francisco and about 10 minutes walk from the famed castro theatre
