Description
In the 1970s Muni acquired 11 ex-Toronto PCCs (originally from Kansas City) for brief service in San Francisco. They essentially kept this same maroon and cream paint scheme, with Muni’s ‘cable car ribbon’ logo replacing the ‘TTC’ logo. Now, this handsome “Red Rocket” #1074, livery is back on San Francisco’s streets to stay.

Wow, does this bring back memories! My brother drove one of these, alternating with buses and cable cars, for 36 years. Mostly the L Taraval line. What memories!
