If you can find it, you’ll like the one minute love story.
Apparently takes place on the Embarcadaro “F” line in San Francisco
Apparently I may have made an error in the posting of the email address. I’ll try and find the correction if I can and get back. It really is worthwhile.

There, I hope I finally got it fight.
I’ve seen at least two versions of this commercial of TV - one which spends more time alongside the PE car and the other on the PTC car.
Sorry about the errors in the first and second posting. I apologize
I’m surprised they let them run in frontof the streetcars like that. I suppose we’ll have a lot more kids run down for a while.
Nothing wrong with crossing in front of a bus or streetcar if you see the door is open and the passengers are still boarding!
Don’t forget that Kenosha Wisconsin has PCC cars you can ride for a mere 25 cents. It makes a large loop past the Metra/CNW depot, some municipal buildings, apartments and condos, and a very nice natural history museum.
I have not seen any love stories acted out while riding but it a very nice deal and the cars are beautifully restored.

Maurey Kleibolt attended and took part in all our activities. Showed up early on a Sunday morning at the Cable Barn to board our special car for a morning cable car tour and found the car waiting was a Powell single-end car and not a California double end. I told the Barn Super we had specifically requesterd only a California car for the entire tour, and he responeded that we had to use a Powell car for the first part of the tour because the California car was too long for the turntable at Hyde and the Embarcadaro. I replied we were not going to use the turntable but instead reverse on the crossover just before turntable. He said that was impossible. I said that the Bay Area Electric Railfans Association had done just that a few months earlier. He said he would check, made a ca
