Original 35mm Slide featuring a classic San Francisco, California street-running transit scene on a busy downtown corridor beneath dense overhead trolley wire.
A red-and-cream PCC-style streetcar is captured in side view moving through an intersection in mixed traffic. Car number 1704 is clearly visible on the front and side. The destination rollsign shows “F” with “Market” legible, consistent with San Francisco’s historic streetcar operations on Market Street.
In the background, a cable car–style tourist vehicle is visible on the right side of the street, adding additional San Francisco transit context. The surrounding scene includes tall downtown buildings, street trees, heavy wire crossings overhead, and a prominent column/monument with a statue near the left background. A white sedan and other vehicles share the roadway, reinforcing the street-running, real-world operating environment.
Excellent reference image for collectors and modelers: clear car number, PCC body details, street/track placement, and overhead-wire geometry in a dense downtown setting.
