Taylor near Bay

View north on Taylor to Muni Powell St. Line Cable Car #527, 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 right, Cable Car #503.
