San Francisco Muni streetcar 1040 was the last of roughly 5,000 PCC streetcars built in the United States between 1935 and 1952.

It’s been restored to its original appearance and runs in regular daily service on the F-Market & Wharves streetcar line.

San Francisco’s art deco PCC streetcars are painted in the color schemes of transit agencies and companies that operate this type of car. When streetcar 1011 was restored, it was painted in the color scheme San Francisco’s Market Street Railway had planned before the company was purchased by the City and incorporated into the Municipal Railway.

In the 1970s, streetcar 1008 was outfitted with a pantagraph at one end to begin testing in the subway before the Boeing light-rail vehicles were ready.

I have the most unholy, utterly unbridled urge to rebuild an entire model railroad empire. First beginning with my track ; I’ll buy some track cleaners, then I’ll clean the track, makes sense right? Then I’ll clean some wheels, some on engines, some on cars. I need to fix or clean some cars so I’ll have to go back 600 kilometers back home to steal my old screwdriver kit. Then I’ll put Katy couplers on everything. Then I’ll rebuild my Tyco/Mantua “Booster” locomotive (a dinky 0-4-0 that’s also a 2-pound BRICK). Then my PCC streetcar. Then I’ll buy some more track, a foam board, some more junk; some more TRAINS! -I’ll build a layout so big I can’t even walk around it! But why walk when you can TRAIN? Hell, I’ll screw everything in this goddamn house until it’s a fucking train itself! Hahahahahahaha! Choo. Choo. Motherfucker!

San Francisco Muni streetcar 1010 was built for Muni in 1948, part of an order of ten double-ended PCC streetcars.

How am I most likely to die if I take the green line?

well. my friend suggested hanging your severed head from the ceiling of the boylston station. i guess in their mind that's the most likely, but i disagree. cutting off the head and then putting it out in the open like that would be both impractical and unoriginal.

theyre right about one thing, though. boylston would be a good place to be killed. your screams would mingle with the screeches of the trains and the lighting is harsh but still manages to be dim.

anothing thing about boylston is that it has an old streetcar on display. if you were killed in some relatively non-destructive way, pcc 3295 has been graffiti-ed in a way that had to be from very close, so you could probably hide a body there. would be far more interesting to have a dead body in an unused fenced off streetcar, their limp silhouette visible through the window, than to just have a decapitated head hanging from the ceiling.

on the d line specfically, you intend to disembark at newton highlands or eliot, somehow miss not one but BOTH of them, and die slightly of embarrassment while waiting for a train going the other way because you know you'd get lost if you tried walkign from waban

What do you people think of Erotic Machines like the General Motors Electromotive Division E7 and the DeHavilland Comet?

Also the Pennsylvania Railroad T1 and PCC Streetcars

All extremely Sexy Machines, that reminds me a lot of modern machinery fails to be Sexy or Industrial and I despise that

list of trains ’d live to see turned into furries:

(that I haven’t personally seen yet)

Baldwin RF-16 “Sharknose”

PRR S-2 Steam Turbine

PRR S-1 Duplex

PRR T-1 Duplex

TTC Hawker Siddeley H-1 through H-4 (I’ve tried it, it’s quite fun to make into an otter)

TTC UTDC CLRV and ALRV

ALCO PA and FA units (similar to F-units I’ve seen, but boxier and cool headlight design)

Swiss ‘Crocodile’ Locomotives

London Underground S7 and S8 Stock

London Underground 1938 Tube Stock (and all the derivatives after it)

MTA R-26 through R-36 Redbirds (be careful not to confuse the R-27 or R-30 units as IRT Redbirds, unlike them they are BMT Redbirds — oh and obviously the R-32’s but they are very visually different)

TTC Bombardier “Toronto Rocket”

PCC Streetcar (and all derivatives — OF WHICH I SAW SOMEONE MAKE A TATRA T3 AND THEY WERE SO CUTTTEEE OMGGG)

I’ll admit this is totally for fun, I’m not an artist and this is just a personal list of mine to remember, but I mean if you wanted to try it I’d love to see how that’d turn out!
