SAN FRANCISCO LIGHT RAIL
Iron Monster

Car 130, from Jewett Car Co., saw service in San Francisco from 1914 until 1958 -- well over forty years.  There are those who remember these units, known as "Iron Monsters," with likely the same kind of fondness that I feel for the PCCs.

As has been seen in some of the other sections in this series, the broadcasting tower atop Mt. Sutro leaves a prominent mark on the city's landscape.
