San Diego
Vintage Trolley Cars
Former San Francisco Muni car 1122
arrives at the San Diego Trolley yard from Lake Tahoe. The cars had
originally been brought to the Central California mountains to run a vintage
car system that never materialized. This, along with another PCC car will be
restored and used in downtown San Diego hopefully sometime in 2008.

Car
1123 joins 1122 in the San Diego Trolley yard on December 14, 2005.
Originally from San Francisco, these cars will be restored and run on the
loop in downtown San Diego. Tentatively called the "Silver Line", these cars
will run clockwise through the Center City area along with the familiar red
Trolleys. This single-ended PCC still has the San Francisco Municipal
Railway logo on the side.

New MTS Director and former San Diego
City Councilman Harry Mathis is interviewed by Fox 6 shortly after the two
PCCs arrived on San Diego Trolley property on December 14, 2005. Mathis,
along with San Diego Trolley Safety Manager Andy Goddard, have spearheaded
the effort to bring these cars to San Diego and to start the restoration
process. Thanks in part to the San Diego Centre City Development Corp, the
cars were able to get to San Diego before another harsh mountain winter
could do any more damage.
