 Union Street Dummy and Car PRESIDIO & FERRIES RAILWAY was unusual in that the one line was operated by horse, cable and steam dummy. The cable portion ran from the intersection of Montgomery Street and Montgomery Ave (now Columbus Ave.) via Montgomery Ave. and Union St. to the Presidio Military Reservation using two car trains like the on illustrated. Although the Presidio & Ferries R.R. was a financial and technological success; the events of 1906 completely destroyed the cable portion of the system. Management then purchased used electric cars from United Railroads and converted the entire line to electric operation, which lasted until 1913 when the P&F became part of the Municipal Railway of San Francisco. $7.99 |
