Presidio and Ferries #28, Built by J. S. Hammond Car Company in 1895 for the first Market Street Railway Company. Then it became United Railroads 755. It was sold to Presidio & Ferries Railway in 1906 following the San Francisco earthquake and fire for the electrification of its line that ran from the Ferries to the Presidio (the Union Street line) that consisted of horsecar, cable car and steam services. It became Muni #317 in 1913. Retired from revenue service in 1922, it became wrecker #C-4 and was retired in 1946. The car was stored on a farm in Pescadero until the Bay Area Electric Railroad Association acquired it January 1965. Last car surviving to negotiate the Fillmore Hill. Now in possession of Western Railway Museum. Peoples Baking Co. in background.
