The Roar of the Four

Post by Tom Macrery »

This refers to the old days in San Francisco when streetcars, trams and trolleys were the kings of the road. Two photos of Market Street with four lines on the one street. I wonder if four was ever equalled or bettered in any other city of the world?

I do love the cow-catchers on the front of those old trams (errm, street cars); gives them a definitive vintage feel. Come to think of it, cattle in the San Franciscan streets? I thought modern day airports are the only places where cattle are hearded!
