With five different modes of transport from many different vendors, the [[San Francisco Municipal Railway]], or Muni as it is commonly known, runs one of the most diverse fleets of vehicles in the [[United States]]. Roughly 1,000 buses, 200 streetcars, and 40 cable cars see active duty. Muni's forty cable cars represent one of the oldest, last remaining public transportation fleets of [[Cable car (railway)|cable cars]] remaining in service around the world. Muni's fleet of diesel-electric hybrid buses is the third largest in the nation, and there are plans in place to replace the existing diesel fleet with hybrid buses. Continuing the trend, Muni's fleet of electric trolleybuses is one of the oldest and largest remaining in the United States. A summary of the current and historic vehicles follows below. |

{{As of|2022}}, Muni operates a fleet of roughly 550 [[diesel-electric hybrid bus]]es and 300 [[Trolleybuses in San Francisco|electric trolleybuses]], consisting nearly entirely of [[New Flyer]] [[New Flyer Xcelsior|Xcelsior]] coaches which have a high degree of parts commonality. The only non-Xcelsior coaches are the battery-electric test buses and the {{Convert|32|ft|m|abbr=|adj=on}} "community route" buses which were built by [[ENC (company)|ENC]] as New Flyer does not offer a short Xcelsior coach. |

=== Diesel buses === |
=== Diesel-electric hybrid buses === |
||
Muni's active diesel fleet contains coaches ranging from thirty to sixty feet in length. All of Muni's current buses are [[Hybrid electric bus|diesel-electric hybrid buses]], fueled with [[Hydrotreated vegetable oil|renewable diesel fuel]] made from bio-feedstock sources, including fats, oils and greases.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Bialick|first=Aaron|date=2015-12-20|title=Switch to Renewable Diesel Will Make Your Muni Ride Cleaner & More Reliable|url=https://www.sfmta.com/blog/switch-renewable-diesel-will-make-your-muni-ride-cleaner-more-reliable|access-date=2019-10-14|website=SFMTA|language=en}}</ref> The diesel-electric hybrid technology has proven very capable of climbing San Francisco's steep hills.{{Citation needed|date=December 2023|reason=Either this is clearly obvious because the buses happily run in SF (so it should be removed), or it needs a reference to back it up}} |
|||
Before 2007, Muni had an all-Diesel fleet that had been purchased from three manufacturers, NABI, Neoplan and Orion, all of whom no longer sell buses in the U.S. (NABI merged into New Flyer, Neoplan left the North American market, and Daimler shutdown Orion), making repairs challenging. After purchasing its first hybrid buses in 2007, the agency embarked on a nearly 15 year project to replace the entire fleet. The new fleet has averaged more miles between road calls – in which a mechanic services a transit vehicle on the street<ref name="DaoDoug2">{{Cite book |last=Meriwether |first=Douglas |title=The Dao of Doug 2: The Art of Driving A Bus / Keeping Zen in San Francisco Transit: A Line Trainer's Guide |date=2015 |publisher=Balboa Press |isbn=978-1-4525-2282-1}}</ref> – than the prior diesel coaches.<ref name="MBRC-Baltimore">{{Cite web |title=Hybrid Diesel Electric Transit Buses |url=http://mta.maryland.gov/hybrid-diesel-electric-transit-buses |access-date=April 6, 2013 |publisher=Maryland Transit Administration}}</ref> |

Muni's active diesel fleet contains coaches ranging from thirty to sixty feet in length. The standard 40ft vehicles include [[Neoplan USA|Neoplan]] (now defunct) AN440, [[NABI]] (the American arm of Ikarus) 416, and Orion VII models. Addtionally, there are a handful of Gillig Phantoms in reserve duty. At the small end of the scale, Muni has 30ft [[Orion Bus Industries|Orion]] VIIs. At the large end of the scale, Muni's articulated diesel fleet is comprised of Neoplans AN460s. The Orion VIIs (both 30ft and 40ft models) are unique in the Muni fleet in that they are powered by a hybrid diesel-electric system. |
|||
=== Electric trolleybuses === |
|||
In December 2007, Muni acquied a double decker diesel bus for testing purposes.<ref name="doubledeckerpressrelease">{{cite web |

}}</ref> Its proponents claim that the double decker makes more efficient use of Muni's limited service bays, that the lack of an articulation joint will result in a lower cost of ownership, and that the shorter length will also be a boon in congested areas. Its detractors claim that dwell time is increased because there are fewer exits than on an articulated bus, and that Muni's traditionally lax security will render the top level of the bus unsafe.<ref name="ddfactsheet" /> |

Muni's fleet of electric [[trolleybus]]es (ETBs) is the largest in the nation<ref name="murray">Murray, Alan (2000). ''World Trolleybus Encyclopaedia'', p. 79. Yateley, Hampshire, UK: Trolleybooks. {{ISBN|0-904235-18-1}}.</ref> and serves many parts of the city. ETBs were very popular in the United States in the middle of the 20th century. Today, San Francisco is one of only four cities in the United States with an operational ETB fleet,<ref name="murray" /><ref name="toms_index">{{Cite web |title=Tom's North American (Canada, USA, Mexico) Trolleybus Pix |url=http://www.trolleybuses.net/ |access-date=December 25, 2007}}</ref> but they play a major role in the Muni system, in part because of the city's many steep hills. Although their overhead wires are sometimes considered unsightly, ETBs are able to climb grades much steeper than conventional, non-cable streetcars and are quieter (particularly when climbing hills) and cleaner than diesel- or hybrid buses. The steepest grade on the Muni trolleybus system, 22.8% in the block of Noe Street between Cesar Chavez Street and 26th Street on route [[24 Divisadero|24-Divisadero]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=General Information About Transit |url=http://www.sfmta.com/cms/rhomemu/genmuinfo.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130128233714/http://www.sfmta.com/cms/rhomemu/genmuinfo.htm |archive-date=January 28, 2013 |access-date=December 28, 2012 |publisher=San Francisco MTA}}</ref> is the steepest grade on any existing trolleybus line in the world,<ref name="Perles-84" />{{rp|127}}<ref name="tm165">Box, Roland (May–June 1989).

Historically, Muni has run standard length buses from a wide variety of manufactures. Articulated buses were sourced from [[MAN AG|MAN]] (retired in 2002) and [[New Flyer Industries|New Flyer]], which were retired earlier in [[2007]]. |
|||
In 1992, Muni tested its first 60-ft articulated trolleybus, the [[New Flyer High Floor|New Flyer E60]], which was the first in the trolleybus fleet to have a wheelchair lift. The E60s were used on high-ridership trolleybus routes and started service in 1993. |

All of Muni's current active diesel buses meet ADA standards. |
|||
Muni's active ETB fleet consists of [[Articulated bus|articulated]] coaches from [[New Flyer Industries|New Flyer]] ([[New Flyer Xcelsior|XT60]]), as well as standard 40 ft coaches from New Flyer (XT40). Historically, Muni ran ETBs from [[J. G. Brill Company|Brill]], the [[St. Louis Car Company]], [[Twin Coach]], [[Marmon-Herrington]], [[New Flyer Industries|Flyer]] ([[Flyer 700/800/900 series|E800]] and E60) and [[Electric Transit, Inc.]] (ETI) (Skoda/AAI 14TrSF and 15TrSF).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tom's Trolley Bus Pictures San Francisco CA Fixed Frame |url=http://www.trolleybuses.net/sfo/sfo.htm |access-date=December 25, 2007}}</ref> |

In 2018, the SFMTA Board voted to purchase all-electric buses exclusively beginning in 2025, with the last non-electric buses retired by 2035. Muni previously had not bought battery-electric buses (BEBs) because they were not proven on steep hills and on high-ridership routes. In November 2019, Muni executed contracts with [[NFI Group|New Flyer]] (for $4.5 million), [[BYD Auto]] ($3.5 million), and [[Proterra, Inc.|Proterra]] ($5.3 million) to procure three BEBs from each vendor as a pilot program to evaluate their performance and test future bus features.

The [[Muni Metro]] has run multiple types of [[light rail]] vehicles. Originally, 131 [[US Standard Light Rail Vehicle|Boeing-Vertol]] cars, which Muni designated LRV1, were used. However, these proved to be extremely troublesome and were phased out of service beginning in 1997. The Boeing cars were replaced by 151 Italian-built Breda LRV2 and LRV3 models. Initially, the Breda vehicles were hailed as more reliable and easier to service than their predecessors. However, deferred maintenance and design defects have taken their toll on them. |

Part of a series of defense conversion projects in the waning days of the [[Vietnam War]], the LRV was seen as both a replacement for older [[PCC streetcar]]s in many cities and as a catalyst for new cities to construct light rail systems. The USSLRV was marketed as the '''Boeing LRV''' and is usually referred to as such. The USSLRV was purchased by both Muni and the [[MBTA]] (Boston), but no other public transportation system in the United States purchased USSLRVs. Under the settlement terms of a lawsuit between Boeing Vertol and MBTA, MBTA was granted the right to reject the last 40 cars. The completed MBTA cars sat in storage until Muni purchased 31 of them. |
|||
After the last LRV1 was retired in 2001, Muni stored two cars (1264 and 1320) at the Cameron Beach Yard (formerly the Geneva Streetcar Yard) for potential restoration and preservation by the [[Market Street Railway (nonprofit)|Market Street Railway]], but they declined to do so and both were scrapped in April 2016.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Lelchuk, Ilene |date=14 January 2002 |title=Muni cars on a roll into city junkyard / Even preservationists reject the clunkers |work=San Francisco Chronicle |url=http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Muni-cars-on-a-roll-into-city-junkyard-Even-2883855.php |access-date=21 April 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Rodriguez, Joe Fitzgerald |date=31 March 2016 |title=Last of Muni's 1980's-era clunker trains will be scrapped |work=San Francisco Examiner |url=http://www.sfexaminer.com/last-munis-1980s-era-clunker-trains-will-scrapped/ |access-date=4 May 2017 |archive-date=24 April 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160424101013/http://www.sfexaminer.com/last-munis-1980s-era-clunker-trains-will-scrapped/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Two LRV1s are preserved in museums: |

The succeeding Breda LRV2/LRV3 fleet of 151 cars is scheduled to phase into retirement between 2021, when the oldest cars are 25 years old, and completely retire by 2027. 25 years is considered the useful lifespan of light rail vehicles, per the FTA and Muni.<ref name=SFMTA-2014 />{{rp|3}} Since delivery of the Siemens LRV4 fleet has been ahead of schedule, Muni is considering an earlier retirement for some of the oldest Breda cars.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Chinn, Jerold |date=November 9, 2018 |title=Muni strides toward early retirement for aging Breda trains |work=SFBay |url=https://sfbay.ca/2018/11/09/muni-strides-toward-early-retirement-for-aging-breda-trains/ |access-date=18 December 2018}}</ref> |

== Historic streetcar fleet == |
|||
Historic streetcars are run on the [[F Market & Wharves]] and [[E Embarcadero]] lines. Introduced as a regular, year-round service in 1995, the F-line [[heritage streetcar]] service started out 12 years earlier as a temporary, replacement tourist attraction for the cable cars{{spaced en dash}}known as the [[San Francisco Historic Trolley Festival]]{{spaced en dash}}during an almost two-year suspension (1982–84) of all cable-car service to permit major infrastructure rebuilding to take place. |
|||
The historic streetcar fleet is composed mostly of [[PCC streetcar|PCC cars]] as well as 1920s-vintage [[Peter Witt streetcar|Peter Witt]] cars from Milan. In addition, Muni operates streetcars from around the world which were bought or donated to the transit agency. |
|||
The vintage fleet is looked over by the nonprofit [[Market Street Railway (nonprofit)|Market Street Railway]] organization, but the vehicles are owned and operated by Muni. |
|||
=== PCC fleet === |

Muni's PCC streetcars are divided into one of five classes, sorted by fleet number and original service:<ref name=roster /> |

==== Big Ten/Baby Ten/1000s ==== |
|||
===== First batch ===== |
|||
Before 1995, several [[PCC streetcar|PCCs]] were rehabilitated by [[Morrison-Knudsen|Morrison–Knudsen]] (MK) before entering revenue service. These include three of the double-ended "Torpedo" cars or "Big Tens" (1007, 1010, and 1015), which were originally built for Muni; and the single-ended 1050-class (1050–1064), which were originally built for [[Philadelphia Transportation Company]] (PTC), the predecessor to today's [[SEPTA]]. Both of these sub-classes were built originally in the late 1940s. |

|||
===== Second batch ===== |
|||
The cars that are presently numbered 1070–1080 were purchased originally by Twin Cities Rapid Transit in 1946. They were sold to Newark in 1953 and ran on the [[Newark City Subway]] until replacement by modern light rail vehicles in 2001. The San Francisco Municipal Railway acquired these cars in 2004<ref name="MSRy-1070" /> and had the cars overhauled at Brookville Equipment Corporation. Some of the cars were put in service in early 2007, but were taken out of service for wiring problems. These problems were eventually repaired. All these cars are single-end cars. |
|||
===== Third batch ===== |
|||
A third group of PCC cars originally built for Muni in 1948 and 1952 were restored at Brookville in 2010–2011 and subsequently returned to service. This batch includes four double-ended "Big Ten" cars (1006, 1008, 1009, 1011) and the sole restored "Baby Ten" (1040), the last PCC car ever built in North America. |

===== 11xx class ===== |

The 1100s series of cars were purchased in 1957 by Muni from [[St. Louis Public Service]]. These cars were retired in 1982 with the inauguration of Muni Metro LRV/subway service, with most being sold off to Henrioulle for [[Tahoe Valley Lines]].<ref name="scstatus" /><ref name=Henrioulle07 /> In 2005–06, three of the 11xx class were purchased for the Silver Line heritage trolley service of the [[San Diego Trolley]]: #1122 (ex-St. Louis #1716), #1123 (ex-St. Louis #1728), and #1170 (ex-St. Louis #1777). These were renumbered to #529, 530, and 531, respectively, for the San Diego service and #529 was restored by early 2011.<ref name=PCC-PAllen /> Under pressure, Henrioulle would sell nine PCCs (including six of the 11xx class: #1113, 1127, 1139, 1145, 1148, and 1169)<ref name="LostStL">{{Cite web|date=March 31, 2010|title=Lost Streetcars of San Francisco, Now Lost in Missouri|url=https://www.streetcar.org/the_odd_story_of_the/|access-date=29 November 2021|publisher=Market Street Railway}}</ref> to a developer in [[St. Charles, Missouri]] in 2007 for the planned [[St. Charles City Streetcar]].<ref name="scstatus" /><ref name=Henrioulle07 /> The developer went bankrupt in 2009 and the streetcars were stored; after a fire in 2012, the St. Charles streetcars were scrapped.<ref name=LostStL /> |

| This car was purchased in 1912 as one of the original streetcars publicly owned by Muni. The car originally was retired in 1951 and was set aside for a museum. This car was restored in 1962 as part of Muni's 50th anniversary and ran occasionally on special excursions until the late 1980s. This car was restored again in 1995 for the opening of the F-line. In 2009 it was shipped to Brookville Equipment Corporation for a complete restoration at a cost of $1.8 million.

Latest revision as of 01:36, 18 November 2024
With five different modes of transport, the San Francisco Municipal Railway runs one of the most diverse fleets of vehicles in the United States. Roughly 550 diesel-electric hybrid buses, 300 electric trolleybuses, 250 modern light rail vehicles, 50 historic streetcars and 40 cable cars see active duty.
Muni's cable cars are the oldest and largest such system remaining in service in the world and its fleet of electric trolleybuses is the largest in the United States. In 2020, Muni completed the process of replacing its motor coach fleet – the first of which was procured in 1915[1] – with diesel-electric hybrid buses.
Fleet overview
[edit]This chart is a summary of the vehicles currently operated by Muni. All buses are accessible at all stops. All streetcars are accessible; however, some surface stops on the E and F lines, and many Muni Metro surface stops, are not accessible. Cable cars are not accessible.

Bus fleet
[edit]As of 2022[update], Muni operates a fleet of roughly 550 diesel-electric hybrid buses and 300 electric trolleybuses, consisting nearly entirely of New Flyer Xcelsior coaches which have a high degree of parts commonality. The only non-Xcelsior coaches are the battery-electric test buses and the 32-foot (9.8 m) "community route" buses which were built by ENC as New Flyer does not offer a short Xcelsior coach.
Diesel-electric hybrid buses
[edit]Muni's active diesel fleet contains coaches ranging from thirty to sixty feet in length. All of Muni's current buses are diesel-electric hybrid buses, fueled with renewable diesel fuel made from bio-feedstock sources, including fats, oils and greases.[17] The diesel-electric hybrid technology has proven very capable of climbing San Francisco's steep hills.[citation needed]
Before 2007, Muni had an all-Diesel fleet that had been purchased from three manufacturers, NABI, Neoplan and Orion, all of whom no longer sell buses in the U.S. (NABI merged into New Flyer, Neoplan left the North American market, and Daimler shutdown Orion), making repairs challenging. After purchasing its first hybrid buses in 2007, the agency embarked on a nearly 15 year project to replace the entire fleet. The new fleet has averaged more miles between road calls – in which a mechanic services a transit vehicle on the street[18] – than the prior diesel coaches.[19]
Electric trolleybuses
[edit]Muni's fleet of electric trolleybuses (ETBs) is the largest in the nation[20] and serves many parts of the city. ETBs were very popular in the United States in the middle of the 20th century. Today, San Francisco is one of only four cities in the United States with an operational ETB fleet,[20][21] but they play a major role in the Muni system, in part because of the city's many steep hills. Although their overhead wires are sometimes considered unsightly, ETBs are able to climb grades much steeper than conventional, non-cable streetcars and are quieter (particularly when climbing hills) and cleaner than diesel- or hybrid buses. The steepest grade on the Muni trolleybus system, 22.8% in the block of Noe Street between Cesar Chavez Street and 26th Street on route 24-Divisadero,[22] is the steepest grade on any existing trolleybus line in the world,[23]: 127 [24][25] and several other sections of Muni ETB routes are among the world's steepest.[26] Muni has operated trolleybuses since 1941 and the mode has been present in San Francisco since 1935—initially a line built and operated by the Market Street Railway and later taken over by Muni.[20] Conversion of some existing diesel bus lines has been proposed.
In 1992, Muni tested its first 60-ft articulated trolleybus, the New Flyer E60, which was the first in the trolleybus fleet to have a wheelchair lift. The E60s were used on high-ridership trolleybus routes and started service in 1993.
Muni's active ETB fleet consists of articulated coaches from New Flyer (XT60), as well as standard 40 ft coaches from New Flyer (XT40). Historically, Muni ran ETBs from Brill, the St. Louis Car Company, Twin Coach, Marmon-Herrington, Flyer (E800 and E60) and Electric Transit, Inc. (ETI) (Skoda/AAI 14TrSF and 15TrSF).[27]
Battery-electric test buses
[edit]In 2018, the SFMTA Board voted to purchase all-electric buses exclusively beginning in 2025, with the last non-electric buses retired by 2035. Muni previously had not bought battery-electric buses (BEBs) because they were not proven on steep hills and on high-ridership routes. In November 2019, Muni executed contracts with New Flyer (for $4.5 million), BYD Auto ($3.5 million), and Proterra ($5.3 million) to procure three BEBs from each vendor as a pilot program to evaluate their performance and test future bus features. Each contract has an option for up to three more BEBs.[28] A fourth contract with Nova Bus ($4.8 million), the only major bus manufacturer excluded from the first round of contracts, was issued in April 2021.[29] The buses in the pilot program will be charged at Woods using newly-installed chargers.[30] Under the pilot program plan, the buses will operate on the 9 San Bruno, 22 Fillmore, 29 Sunset, and 44 O'Shaughnessy routes. The first battery-electric bus entered service in February 2022.[31]
Under the Zero-Emission Bus Rollout Plan published in February 2021, 54 articulated buses will be the first production BEBs for Muni and that first purchase is planned for 2027.[32]: 18 The last diesel-electric hybrid buses will leave service by 2037.[32]: 19 By 2040, the Muni bus fleet is anticipated to be composed entirely of BEBs: 30 (30-foot) + 497 (40-foot) + 462 (60-foot) for 989 buses in total.[33]: 7 No on-route charging is planned; BEBs will use depot chargers at six of Muni's yards. Eventually, it is planned to upgrade these yards with SAE J3105 (inverted pantograph) chargers over several years: Kirkland (77 chargers, 2024–27), Potrero (206 chargers, 2024–27), Flynn (109 chargers, 2025–28), Presidio (217 chargers, 2028–31), Islais Creek (149 chargers, 2030–33), and Woods (177 chargers, 2034–37).[32]: 27
The ZEB Rollout Plan was updated in July 2022.[34] Under the revised ZEB Rollout Plan, the existing fleet of trolleybuses would be replaced one-for-one starting in 2031; the existing fleet of hybrid diesel-electric buses would be gradually replaced starting in 2026 with battery-electric buses until the planned retirement of the last diesel hybrids in 2037. In 2038, it is anticipated the mix of buses will be entirely BEBs (30× 32-foot, 403× 40-foot, and 297× 60-foot articulated) and trolleybuses (185× 40-foot and 93× 60-foot artic).[34]: 20–21 The yard upgrades were re-sequenced and accelerated: Kirkland (91 chargers, 2022–25), Potrero (216, 2024–27), Islais Creek (117, 2024–30), Presidio (227, 2027–31), Flynn (107, 2029–34), and Woods (250, 2030–35).[34]: 30 The total cost of the project is $1.8 billion, divided between new buses ($1.4 B) and charging infrastructure ($0.4 B), excluding the cost of labor and other potential infrastructure upgrades.[34]: 59
Cable car fleet
[edit]Around the turn of the twentieth century, there were numerous cable car lines providing service to many sections of the city. Some of those cable cars are built by Muni themselves.[35] Currently only three lines and forty cars remain.
Light rail vehicle fleet
[edit]Contemporary light rail vehicles
[edit]The Muni Metro has run multiple types of light rail vehicles. Originally, 131 Boeing-Vertol cars, which Muni designated LRV1, were used. However, these proved to be extremely troublesome and were phased out of service beginning in 1997. The Boeing cars were replaced by 151 Italian-built Breda LRV2 and LRV3 models. Initially, the Breda vehicles were hailed as more reliable and easier to service than their predecessors. However, deferred maintenance and design defects have taken their toll on them.
Muni has expanded its fleet with new Siemens light rail vehicles; the 151 Bredas will be replaced one-for-one starting in 2021. The first phase of 68 Siemens S200 LRV4s (for fleet expansion: 24 Central Subway + 40 Option 1 + 4 Phase W) were delivered between 2017 and 2019, ahead of the scheduled opening of the Central Subway.[36] SFMTA's initial contract with Siemens called for a maximum of 260 cars to be delivered: 175 in the base order (151 of which are to replace the Bredas, and 24 for fleet expansion to accommodate anticipated ridership via the Central Subway), 40 as Option 1, and 45 as Option 2.[37][38] Four more Siemens LRV4s were ordered in June 2017 for Phase W, which anticipates expanded service to Chase Center, using the Mission Bay Transportation Improvement Fund.[39] Option 1 (+40) was exercised in 2015[40] and Option 2 was partially exercised (+30) in 2021[41] so there are firm orders for 249 LRV4s.[36]
The first LRV4 went into revenue service on November 17, 2017.[42]
Inactive/retired light rail vehicles
[edit]The US Standard Light Rail Vehicle was an attempt at a standardized light rail vehicle (LRV) promoted by the United States Urban Mass Transit Administration (UMTA) and built by Boeing Vertol in the 1970s. Part of a series of defense conversion projects in the waning days of the Vietnam War, the LRV was seen as both a replacement for older PCC streetcars in many cities and as a catalyst for new cities to construct light rail systems. The USSLRV was marketed as the Boeing LRV and is usually referred to as such. The USSLRV was purchased by both Muni and the MBTA (Boston), but no other public transportation system in the United States purchased USSLRVs. Under the settlement terms of a lawsuit between Boeing Vertol and MBTA, MBTA was granted the right to reject the last 40 cars. The completed MBTA cars sat in storage until Muni purchased 31 of them.
After the last LRV1 was retired in 2001, Muni stored two cars (1264 and 1320) at the Cameron Beach Yard (formerly the Geneva Streetcar Yard) for potential restoration and preservation by the Market Street Railway, but they declined to do so and both were scrapped in April 2016.[43][44] Two LRV1s are preserved in museums:
- 1213 (since 2000), at the Oregon Electric Railway Museum
- 1258, at the Western Railway Museum
In addition, No. 1271 is used as an office trailer in a Bay Area scrapyard.[45]
The succeeding Breda LRV2/LRV3 fleet of 151 cars is scheduled to phase into retirement between 2021, when the oldest cars are 25 years old, and completely retire by 2027. 25 years is considered the useful lifespan of light rail vehicles, per the FTA and Muni.[46]: 3 Since delivery of the Siemens LRV4 fleet has been ahead of schedule, Muni is considering an earlier retirement for some of the oldest Breda cars.[47]

Historic streetcar fleet
[edit]Historic streetcars are run on the F Market & Wharves and E Embarcadero lines. Introduced as a regular, year-round service in 1995, the F-line heritage streetcar service started out 12 years earlier as a temporary, replacement tourist attraction for the cable cars – known as the San Francisco Historic Trolley Festival – during an almost two-year suspension (1982–84) of all cable-car service to permit major infrastructure rebuilding to take place.
The historic streetcar fleet is composed mostly of PCC cars as well as 1920s-vintage Peter Witt cars from Milan. In addition, Muni operates streetcars from around the world which were bought or donated to the transit agency.
The vintage fleet is looked over by the nonprofit Market Street Railway organization, but the vehicles are owned and operated by Muni.
PCC fleet
[edit]Muni's PCC streetcars are divided into one of five classes, sorted by fleet number and original service:[56]
Class | Fleet nos. (qty) | Original service (built) | Muni service | Length | Width | Height | Weight | Motors |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Big Ten/Baby Ten/1000s
[edit]First batch
[edit]Before 1995, several PCCs were rehabilitated by Morrison–Knudsen (MK) before entering revenue service. These include three of the double-ended "Torpedo" cars or "Big Tens" (1007, 1010, and 1015), which were originally built for Muni; and the single-ended 1050-class (1050–1064), which were originally built for Philadelphia Transportation Company (PTC), the predecessor to today's SEPTA. Both of these sub-classes were built originally in the late 1940s.
Car 1054 (original 2121) was damaged beyond repair following an accident on November 16, 2003 and it was stored awaiting scrapping.[62][63][64] In 2014, Muni sent 1056, the first from the original batch of sixteen to be overhauled at Brookville Equipment Corporation.[65] The entire first batch of sixteen is scheduled to be rebuilt at Brookville; the next cars to be sent were 1051, 1060, and 1059 in that order;[66][67] followed (in indeterminate order) by 1055, 1062, and 1063.[68] The first streetcar to re-enter service, 1051, was re-dedicated to Harvey Milk in March 2017, and was followed back into service by 1056.[69]
Second batch
[edit]The cars that are presently numbered 1070–1080 were purchased originally by Twin Cities Rapid Transit in 1946. They were sold to Newark in 1953 and ran on the Newark City Subway until replacement by modern light rail vehicles in 2001. The San Francisco Municipal Railway acquired these cars in 2004[60] and had the cars overhauled at Brookville Equipment Corporation. Some of the cars were put in service in early 2007, but were taken out of service for wiring problems. These problems were eventually repaired. All these cars are single-end cars.
Third batch
[edit]A third group of PCC cars originally built for Muni in 1948 and 1952 were restored at Brookville in 2010–2011 and subsequently returned to service. This batch includes four double-ended "Big Ten" cars (1006, 1008, 1009, 1011) and the sole restored "Baby Ten" (1040), the last PCC car ever built in North America.
Remaining PCC cars
[edit]The remainder of the PCC streetcars assigned numbers 10xx which have yet to be restored mostly were acquired by Muni before 1952.[70][71] This includes cars from three distinct sub-classes: the double-ended "Big Ten" (1014; the "Big 10s" comprise 1006–1015), the single-ended "Baby Tens" (1016–1040),[57] and the "1050s".[56] Of the 1050s, which were acquired from SEPTA in the early 1990s, most were restored and are in service, but two were scrapped: 1054 (ex-SEPTA 2121), which was damaged beyond repair in 2003 after re-entering revenue service, and 1064 (ex-SEPTA 2133), which was never rehabilitated after acquisition.
Gunnar Henrioulle acquired several retired "Baby Ten" and "11xx" class cars as the largest single purchaser of retired Muni cars in the mid-1990s. He also acquired an ex-San Diego PCC (#502), two ex-Toronto PCCs (#4404 and #4472), and built a double-ended PCC from ex-Baby Ten #1024 and #1035.[72] Henrioulle had intended to use the PCCs for a heritage streetcar line called Tahoe Valley Lines, but the government of South Lake Tahoe, California did not approve his plans and he was forced to sell off most of his fleet in 2001; four of his Baby Tens (#1026, 1027, 1038, and 1034)[72] were reacquired by Muni at this time.[73]

11xx class
[edit]The 1100s series of cars were purchased in 1957 by Muni from St. Louis Public Service. These cars were retired in 1982 with the inauguration of Muni Metro LRV/subway service, with most being sold off to Henrioulle for Tahoe Valley Lines.[9][73] In 2005–06, three of the 11xx class were purchased for the Silver Line heritage trolley service of the San Diego Trolley: #1122 (ex-St. Louis #1716), #1123 (ex-St. Louis #1728), and #1170 (ex-St. Louis #1777). These were renumbered to #529, 530, and 531, respectively, for the San Diego service and #529 was restored by early 2011.[122] Under pressure, Henrioulle would sell nine PCCs (including six of the 11xx class: #1113, 1127, 1139, 1145, 1148, and 1169)[123] to a developer in St. Charles, Missouri in 2007 for the planned St. Charles City Streetcar.[9][73] The developer went bankrupt in 2009 and the streetcars were stored; after a fire in 2012, the St. Charles streetcars were scrapped.[123]

2147 | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania | Stored | This was acquired as a parts car for the 1050-class PCC fleet, and has a different propulsion from the current fleet.[56] This car is notable for being the only PCC car to ever operate in New Orleans. |
4008 | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania | Scrapped | Port Authority 4000 Series PCC, originally built for the Pittsburgh Railways Company, later the Port Authority of Allegheny County. When portions of Port Authority's streetcar system were being rebuilt and modernized in the 1980s, 45 of the Authority's PCC's were to be completely rebuilt as well. However, due to budget problems, only a dozen were actually rebuilt, including 4008 and 4009. After the Overbrook Line's closure in 1993, these cars were relegated to a shuttle service between the Drake Loop and Castle Shannon until retirement in 1999. Purchased at auction in 2001, Nos. 4008 and 4009 were stored and required re-gauging[56] as well as modifications to make them ADA-compliant. Scrapped in late 2019/early 2020 at Schnitzer Steel in Oakland with significant structural rust.[83][84] |

Car # | City of origin (car's paint scheme colors) | Status | Notes | Image |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | San Francisco (Battleship Gray) | Operational | This car was purchased in 1912 as one of the original streetcars publicly owned by Muni. The car originally was retired in 1951 and was set aside for a museum. This car was restored in 1962 as part of Muni's 50th anniversary and ran occasionally on special excursions until the late 1980s. This car was restored again in 1995 for the opening of the F-line. In 2009 it was shipped to Brookville Equipment Corporation for a complete restoration at a cost of $1.8 million. This streetcar returned to service on October 6, 2012.[126] | |
130 | San Francisco (Blue/Gold) | Awaiting restoration | This car was purchased in 1914 as part of a 100-car order from Jewett Car Company. This car ran in San Francisco until retirement in 1958. It was converted into a wrecker and was restored to blue and gold colors in 1983. In 2002, No. 130 was dedicated to longtime San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen.[127] | |
162 | San Francisco (Wings) | Under repair | This car was purchased in 1914 as part of a 125-car order from Jewett Car Company. This car ran in San Francisco until retirement in 1958 and was then sold with another car to Orange Empire Railway Museum. It was reacquired in 2003 by the San Francisco Municipal Railway and restored by Market Street Railway in 2004. The car then underwent further restoration by Muni starting in 2005 and returned to service in August 2008, the 50-year anniversary of its earlier retirement.[128] On January 4, 2014, this car was involved in a collision with a container truck, seriously damaging one of its ends.[129] Rebuilt in Long Beach and returned to Muni in April 2018.[130] | |
578-S | Market Street Railway | Operational, special service only | Built in 1896 by Hammond Car Company in San Francisco; converted to a work car after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and renumbered to 0601.[131] Restored to original appearance in 1956 and permanently loaned to the Western Railway Museum, but recalled by Muni in 1984 to serve in Trolley Festivals.[131][132] | |
798 | Market Street Railway (Whiplash Green/White) | Awaiting restoration | Built in 1924 by the Market Street Railway at Elkton Shops (now Green Division at Ocean & San Jose). Sold for scrap in 1946 and eventually became a jewelry store in Columbia before being repurchased in 1984 using money donated by Embarcadero Center[133] and returned to Muni. Only surviving streetcar of the class operated by Maya Angelou.[134] Moved to Cameron Beach Yard in 2011.[135] |

151 | Osaka, Japan | Awaiting restoration | Built by Kawasaki in 1927; arrived in San Francisco in 1988.[143] Restoration prioritized over 578-J because 151 is from sister city (Osaka) and has four motors, making it more suitable for service.[144] | |
189 | Porto, Portugal | Awaiting restoration | Copy of a J. G. Brill Company streetcar design, built in 1929. Purchased in 1984 from Paul Class after running in the first (1983) San Francisco Historic Trolley Festival. Last run in 1987.[145] | |

496 | Melbourne, Australia (Green/Beige) | Operational | W2-class, first operated in Feb 1928. Purchased by Muni in 1984 with No. 586 (a parts car).[149] As of 2018[update], regularly operates weekends on E Line, which requires double-ended cars, because there is no turnaround at the southern terminus.[150] | |
578-J | Kobe/Hiroshima, Japan | Undergoing restoration | Originally built in 1927 as No. 574, one of the 570 streetcar class for the Kobe City Railways .

586 | Melbourne, Australia (Green/Beige) | Non-servicable | W2-class. Is a parts car for 496.[149] Donated its trucks for car 916; trucks underwent refurbishment and were fitted to car 916 in February 2018. | |
737 | Brussels, Belgium | Operational | This car's original service career was spent on the Brussels, Belgium streetcar system as No. 7037, starting in 1952. Arrived in San Francisco in June 2004 and repainted in the blue-and-white paint scheme of the Verkehrsbetriebe Zürich, as Zürich, Switzerland, is a sister city of San Francisco, entering Muni service in 2005.[152] Has seen only limited service because it has specialized parts and is a narrow streetcar, limiting capacity. | |
913 | New Orleans, Louisiana (Green) | Awaiting restoration | Originally built in 1923 as one of 73 in its class by Perley Thomas; sold as surplus in 1964 to the Orange Empire Railway Museum; purchased by Muni in 2005.[153] | |
916 | Melbourne, Australia (Green/Beige) | Operational | SW6-class. Entered service in 1946; donated by State of Victoria to San Francisco in 2009.[154] Awaited modifications necessary to operate on E and F line from 2009 to 2018. In early February 2018, No. 916 received its permanent trucks (from parts car No. 586) and final modifications. It awaits CPUC inspection. | |
952 | New Orleans, Louisiana (Green) | Under repair | Originally built in 1923 as one of 73 in its class by Perley Thomas; sold as surplus in 1964 and repurchased from Chattanooga by New Orleans in 1984. Retired again in 1997 when replaced by replica; leased to San Francisco in 1998.[153] | |
3557 | Hamburg, Germany (Red/White) | Awaiting restoration | Built in 1954; V6E class. Retired in 1978 when the Hamburg streetcar system was abandoned; arrived in San Francisco in 1979. Delivered to City Hall as a surprise, leading to the headline "A Streetcar Named Undesirable".[155] Last ran in 1992. Major structural revisions necessary for ADA requirements.[156] |
