Beskrivelse
PCC 1061, honoring Pacific Electric, at Church and 17th Street l Jon Porter photo
July 2023
Of the 26 PCC streetcars painted for out-of-town transit agencies, none is more photographed than Car 1061, resplendent in the red, orange, and silver livery of Pacific Electric, Southern California's once-sprawling rail system (owned by Southern Pacific, which had a similar spectacular livery for some of its passenger trains). Here the car turns onto non-revenue tracks on 17th Street to reach the Castro Terminal and start its day.
Same intersection from a different angle i 1934, looking south on Church, with 17th Street just beyond J-line Car 46 and the firetruck. The tracks on 17th didn't come until the 1970s, built as a detour for the K, L, and Mlines to reach the Twin Peaks Tunnel while upper Market Street was dug up to build the Muni Metro subway. The tracks turned out to be perfectly placed for streetcar going between the carbarn and the F-line Castro terminal.
