Market Street Railway brings us word one of the rarest streetcars historic fleet may be back in action soon. Zürich streetcar no.737 was spotted on the M-line while out for testing this weekend.
The tram was acquired from a broker in Brussels 10 years ago when Muni was looking for possible additional groups of streetcars for the F-line.
Since the car was a European version of a PCC, with many of the same components, the thinking went it would be easy to maintain. But the tram had been modified over the years with a number of now-obsolete electronic components and other changes had been made that took awhile to remedy, so the car’s service has been sporadic.
