Powell & Market

View south to Muni Powell St. Line Cable Car #527 near turntable, labeled as a Sacramento & Clay St. car to remind voters of that line, which had been eliminated in 1942. The car was chartered by the Citizens Committee To Save the Cable Cars and its chair Friedel Klussmann. On front left, campaign sign urging a yes vote on Proposition 10 (which passed overwhelmingly and preserved all existing Municipal Railway cable car lines), reading 'Vote Yes on Prop. 10 Nov. 4 and SAVE THE CABLES. Cables in the last 10 years have had fewer fatalities than buses. No bus can load as fast. Cables have 4 brakes." On left Owl Drug in Flood Building.
