San Francisco streetcar No. 578 may be the world’s oldest streetcar still on the active roster of an urban transit agency. Built in San Francisco in 1896 by Hammond Car Co., the same firm that later built the California Street cable cars, this historic treasure is a bouncy single-trucker that was part of San Francisco’s first generation of electric streetcars. |
