 Pacific Avenue Dummy and Car SUTTER STREET RAILWAY COMPANY operated a large fleet of horse cars in San Francisco in the mid 1860s. Upon witnessing the success of the Clay Street Hill R.R. the company president, Henry Casebolt elected to covert most of the system to cable in 1877. Reorganizing as the Sutter Street Railway Co. this large successful operation continued until 1902 when it became part of the United Railroads of San Francisco. Most of the system was electrified after 1906 the only cable section to survive was a short section on Pacific Avenue between Polk and Divisadero Streets. This was the last cable operation to use the two-car Dummy and Trailer system, it lasted until 1929. $7.99 |
