Elevated view northeast to Lincoln Way streetcar 'boneyard. Billboard reads: 'New Homes Here, city will clear this block if you vote YES, Tuesday April 20th One System - One Management- One Fare Universal Transfer.' Cropped version of photo published in San Francisco Examiner April 8, 1943 edition with caption: "BARGAIN OFFERED TAXPAYERS: NOT JUNK---These old Market Street Railway trolleys go with the land on which they stand at Funston Ave. and Lincoln Way, if the city trolley merger goes through. City expects to salvage many usable parts from these cars to put new cars together." The 1943 effort failed, but one in May, 1944 was successful and Muni and Market St. Railway merged on September 29, 1944. Visible in front are MSRy cars #795, #896, #839, #894, #787 and #848, scrapped in 1946.
