Tuscarora Almanac for January 16 |

Posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Wed Jan 16 09:52:55 2019 Tuscarora Almanac - January 16, 1905 - The Book of First Runs Manhattan, New York Interborough Rapid Transit Company The first section of the Contract II subway is opened from Brooklyn Bridge to Fulton Street. A new station is opened at Fulton Street - Broadway. Tuscaora Almanac - January 16, 1949 - The Book of Last Runs (West Coast Division) San Francisco, California San Francisco Municipal Railway Today was the last day of streetcar service on San Francisco Muni's former Market Street Railway streetcar lines using Mission Street, which extended from the Ferry Building, then south and southwest through San Francisco. These were lines 14-Mission, 11-Mission & Hoffman (short turn to Noe Valley via 22nd and 24th Streets), 9-Valencia, and most notably the Line 40-Interurban to San Mateo. Line 14 was bustituted, but eventually converted to trolley coach. Lines 11 and 9 were converted to motor coach, and, in the case of the 9, renumbered to 26. The 40-Line interurban was abandoned outright-a devastating loss. (This would have made a great LRT line today!) Interestingly, much of the area served by the 40-Line was eventually re-served by rail when BART opened its extension to San Francisco International Airport and Millbrae in 1993. This set of conversions left just one block of former MSRy streetcar lines to be axed: the Sutter Street group. These lasted about six more months.
