San Francisco Photos...

OK, they're not New Orleans streetcars, but they're still fun to ride when I'm out here. Here are a few photos from a ride on the "F" line:

PCC 1062 (Louisville, KY), turning off of Beach Street at the end of the "F" line. I got on this one and rode down to the Ferry Terminal.

While walking around in the general vicinity of the Ferry Terminal on the Embarcadero, PCC 1010, one of the "Magic Carpets" passed going the other way. I keep telling folks at home that we should buy one or two of these double-ended PCCs and rent them to movie production companies filming in New Orleans. "Double-ended" means they can change direction, like the Perley Thomas cars that regularly run on Canal and Riverfront.

Milan tram 1845 came by after a few minutes, so I continued my ride on the "F" line. Further down Market, I got off of 1845 and took PCC 1055 back down to the Fisherman's Wharf area, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get a good photo of that streetcar. While walking around, however, I did take an obligatory cable car photo:
