Riding the Rails in San Francisco

Just being in San Francisco was an Adventure. But riding the street cars, and especially the cable cars, was a dream come true!

First we rode Street Car No. 1. Built in 1912, this was the first publicly-owned street car in the US.

Here comes our ride, Street Car No. 1

Next up was the California Line on Cable Car No. 50, also built in 1912.

Cable cars are a whizz!

Last but not least, we rode the Powell Cable Car line from the famous turntable on Hyde Street. The workhorse for our final run was Cable Car No. 11, built way back in 1893-4, and still going strong!

…And down the other side!
