On Tuesday, Mayor Breed will hop on 'Big 19' the oldest cable car in the city's fleet. The car was built in 1883. The city is celebrating 150 years of cable cars and kicks off a 6-month celebration.
Breed will hop on board Municipal Railway's oldest surviving cable car, first built in 1883, for a nostalgic ride along California Street. 'Big 19' once ran in the original line of Andrew Hallidie, who is hailed as the father of the city's cable car system.
But that's just the beginning of the celebration. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation and its nonprofit preservation partner, Market Street Railway, have teamed up with a dozen community organizations to stage an array of special events this summer and winter, in an effort to boost cable car ridership.
For the first time ever, the public will have the opportunity to tour the Muni shop, where cable cars are built and rebuilt. History buffs can join in on historical-themed walk and ride tours of the neighborhoods served by the cable car lines, and even "ghost" cable cars from disappeared lines will make a special appearance.
