The Boat being used for this service has been the longer-term resident of this part of America, <strong>228<\/strong>, and as is always the case with a Boat Car \u2013 regardless of which side of the Atlantic it may be! \u2013 it has proven to be a very popular addition to the historic trolley service offered in San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Since its repairs <strong>228<\/strong> has been running on Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout August and will continue to do so for part of September. Its hours of operation have been between 1100 and 1700 with the tram running from the San Francisco Railway Museum and Fisherman\u2019s Wharf.<\/p>\n<p>During its period of out service receiving motor repairs the chance was also taken to replace the windscreens with a new temporary single version. In the long-term it is planned to put in two piece windscreens.<\/p>\n<p>It has also been confirmed that it is planned that <strong>228<\/strong> will run during the annual Muni Heritage weekend on 7th and 8th September with the tram due to operate on Saturday 7th. On Sunday 8th September it is currently scheduled that fellow Boat Car, <strong>233<\/strong>, will be running \u2013 a rare outing for this car and to this end it has recently been under test.
