Muni F Line Car no. 1061 (Pacific Electric)

The San Francisco Municipal Railway, established in 1912, was the first publicly-owned streetcar system in a major American city, a significant milestone during the Progressive Era aimed at combating the corruption of privately-owned transit systems. The Municipal Railway's first streetcar, No. 1, has become an iconic symbol of this transformation, cherished for its historic significance and original design features, including rattan seats and a wooden interior.

Over the years, No. 1 has been preserved and restored, serving various roles in the city's transportation history, from regular service on multiple lines to ceremonial duties during the Muni's milestone celebrations. Today, it stands as a testament to San Francisco's rich transit heritage and continues to delight residents and visitors alike as a centerpiece of the F-line streetcar service.
