B aby MH Baby Marmon-Herrington 548 being unloaded after shipment from the M-H factory in Indianapolis. The baby Marmons were 40 feet long and this batch was the only batch of baby Marmons ever manufactured.

5300 Flyer 5300 resting at Garage have been touched up here and there. This is an indication that Flyers might be around longer than originally anticipated. It is unclear what the future of 5265 was. Photo by Matt Lee, FE 2005.

5300 Muni Car 65 signed for route A at Fleischacker Zoo. It is not clear how this car got to the Zoo, as route ended at Golden Gate Park, before its demise in 1932.

734 Marmon-Herrington 734 on Market Street. Photographer and date unknown.

Roar The 'roar of the four.' Taken in the late '30s, Market Street was busy and very interesting. This situation lasted until about 1947, when streetcar lines were being diseaselized and some cases later electrified. Today there are four tracks of trolleybus overhead, but it just doesn't come to the 'roar of the four' days. Photographer unknown.

SF-597 Twin Coach 597 at the Fourth and Townsend terminal. Photographer unknown. 6 FEB 1968.

5611, 5584 Brand new Twin Coach being tested either in Youngstown, OH, or in Akron OH. The Twincoach factory was located in Kent, OH, between Youngstown and Akron. Photographer and date unknown, though it was probably taken in 1948.

SF-Presidio-Twins Twin Coaches lined up at the Presidio Garage. Photographer and date unknown.

SF-5491 ETI 5491 at the Presidio garage. It has been repainted in the most recent paint scheme. Photo by Matt Lee. 7 MAY 2009.

SF-5418 Preserved Flyer E-800 5418 at Ocean Beach at the terminus of routes 5 and 31. It was out checking switches and breakers around the north side of the City. 5418 was driven over to Presidio Garage scaring the maintenance staff into thinking that the Flyers were being brought back into regular service. Photo by Matt Lee. 7 MAY 2009.

SF-7023 New Flyer 7023 on the 41 Union St. at Lyon and St. and Greenwich St. on a test run. See below. Photo by Matt Lee. 2007.

SF-571 Twin Coach 571 somewhere on Market Street. Photographer and date unknown. From the collection of Dave Menzies.

SF-660-1051 Marmon-Herrington 660 is passing PCC 1019 on 17th St. at Sanchez St. West bound trolleys on the 33 and on maybe the 8 were diverted via 17th St. from MIssion St. and Valencia St. to Diamond St., where the route went south to 18th St. and continuing via its normal route. This rerouting occurred during the construction of the Metro tunnel near tunnel entrance. 660 was signed as #8 but it could have been a misnumbering. The PCCs were also rerouted via 17th. This is uncertain. Today 17th St. still sees non-revenue carhouse vintage streetcars for route F. Photographer uncertain. October 1973. From the collection of Cameron Beach.

Note that the vehicle number at the rear is visible in this paint scheme but it is not very visible in the new paint scheme above. The difference between the two photos is the glare of the sun. In both schemes it is visible above the front door. Photo by Matt Lee. 3 NOV 2010.
