San Francisco Muni "F-Line" PCC Car 1062 rolls along the Embarcadero. Built in 1948 by the St. Louis Car Company for Philadelphia as car No. 2101, this streetcar is painted in the livery of Louisville Railway Company, which bought but never actually ran PCC streetcars. After buying 15 PCCs in 1946, the Louisville company lost its nerve, opting for buses and selling the cars to Clevelandstill new. Several other US transit operators, including New Orleans and the East Bays Key System, considered PCCs but couldnt afford them. Car No. 1062 represents all the cities that might have been PCC territory. |
