<\/p>\n

Taken on 20th<\/sup> July 2002 this photo shows one of the many PCC streetcars which operate in San Francisco although on this date 1053<\/strong> had just been in the wars! You can see some minor damage to its front end from where it had been in a collision and to the left of the front end there are a couple of police officers who have undoubtedly been called to deal with the situation. A couple of other streetcars wait patiently behind on Market Street.<\/p>\n

1053<\/strong> was originally built as 2721<\/strong> for Philadelphia and was acquired by Muni in 1992 with restoration to service coming the following year. As with many of the PCCs which operate in San Francisco, 1053<\/strong> carries a \u201ctribute\u201d livery with this in the Brooklyn (New York City) colours.<\/p>\n
