PCC Streetcar 1051, honoring Harvey Milk, at the F-line Castro Terminal l Adolfo Echeverry photo

September 2023

In 1978, Harvey Milk became one of America's first openly gay elected officials as he joined San Francisco's Board of Supervisors. A staunch advocate of public transit, Milk commuted daily to City Hall from the Castro in Muni PCCs often painted in this simplified style. Assassinated in November 1978, his many honors include the naming of a public school and Terminal 1 at San Francisco International Airport for him, and the dedication of this stereetcar to him.

Muni's PCCs had to run almost five years longer than planned due to delays in procuring new light rail vehicles for the subway. Some were spuced up, but when Harney Milk rode them, most were pretty rough looking, whatever paint scheme they wore. Same location as above but facing the other direction, the Baby Ten PCC has just emerged from the temporory portal of the Twin Peaks Tunnel to head downtown on the 17th Street detour.
