APRIL

Built for The San Fanscisco Municipal Railway by the Jewett Car Company in 1914, 162 was used in regular service on virtually every Muni streetcar line. Painted in all three Muni liveries used during its service life, including the green and cream “Wings” in the 1950s. In 1958 it was retired from daily service, and sold to Orange Empire Railway Museum in Southern California. Come 2002 162 was repurchased by Market Street Railway and Muni and returned to San Francisco, where Market Street Railway volunteers began cosmetic restoration of the car. 162 was later moved to the MUNI metro maintance facility for compleation of it restoration. These images are of 162's first fantrip following completion of it's restoration. The interesting thing that came with uploading images to The Information Super Street Car Line, is the right person saw this image, and a few months later it appered on the cover of Market Street Railway's quaterly publication. More about 162 and the Market Street Railway can be found at http://www.streetcar.org
