I was on Market today near Church when I got a great showing of vintage MUNI #1 street car out to strectch her legs.

She was heading toward the Castro loop so I decided to wait for her return... didn't happen. Where did she go? Is she seen regularly?

I would venture to guess that it continued down the route of the J line to the Balboa Park light rail facility where it is probably stored.

Iron Monster #1 and the rest of the F line historic fleet are actually based at Geneva Carhouse, across the street from the Balboa Park/Green Metro Center facility.

It had its inagural run on December 28, 1912 so that's 93 years!

I was 3 years off, oh, well.

93 years old, and it still runs? Not bad for a streetcar it's age! :-D :-D :-) :-)
