San Francisco Railway Museum

Market Street Railway is a non-profit organization with 1000 members, founded in 1976. Our mission is preserving historic transit in San Francisco. We advocate for historic streetcar and cable car service improvements and expansion, educate people about the importance of attractive transit in creating vibrant, livable cities, and celebrate the wonderful historic streetcars, cable cars, and buses owned and operated by Muni, a service of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA). We also operate the free San Francisco Railway Museum across from the Ferry Building at 77 Steuart Street, open Tuesdays-Sundays, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Our group's leaders were the driving force in making vintage streetcars a full-time part of the San Francisco scene in the 1980s and 1990s.
