If you spend any amount of time in San Francisco
You will have sighting
Besides PCC’s
they are my other weakness
There are 3 lines remaining :
Poweel and Mason
Powell and Hyde
California street
Powell and Hyde is famous for the long and very steep drop to the terminus at Hyde and Beach
it is actually a combination of the O’Farrell, Jones and Hyde and the Powell lines
Powell and Mason is an original route, as it was
This line terminates at a turntable at Bay and Taylor
The Mason line has more gentle slopes than the Hyde line
after the initial climb up Powell street, that is !
Goodbye, cable cars !
see you next time !
We need to get you over on the Classic Trains forum: http://cs.trains.com/ctr/f/3.aspx
Indeed! That’s where your shots really belong!
Something’s wrong with those cable cars though. Where’s the “Rice-A-Roni” posters? [:O]
This is going to sound dumb but…I always used to sing it as “Rise of Roni, the Sas Frasnoscu treat.” [:-^]
That was a very successful ad campaign. People will forever associate the S.F. Cable cars with Rice-a-Roni !
Of course, it’s a lot of syllables for a young child to pronounce… I think you made a respectable effort !
