Only problem with Market is that LRVs with pantographs can't use the overhead (I forget the technical reason why). Way back before the F-Market (and wharves), Muni had a summertime trolley festival on the Market St tracks (it started when the cable cars were down for 2 years for refurbishment, but it proved so popular, they kept it every summer). They had to use 2 Boeings (1220 and 1221, or was it 1221 and 1222?) to help out, but since the pantographs wouldn't work, they had to fit them with trolley poles. |
