It doesn’t feel nearly as rich in history as subways in those cities, alas – but once in a while you can find an old element, a bit of grime, or a long-gone detail that betrays its age and hints at stories.pic.twitter.com/DQ4lGVkJl6
It’s also has a rare building on the surface – and it’s pretty nice, too.pic.twitter.com/7oDBNRzpGL
But most important for me, at least, is the fact that it’s tiny. It’s “the oldest subway station in North America west of Chicago,” but it’s really just a straightforward, small subway station with two platforms.pic.twitter.com/HeKBVg1Rdd
That’s what I like about it. It’s an unremarkable station, far away from the splashy/touristy SF celebrations of transit history – cable cars and vintage streetcars – which also (oddly) don’t connect to it.pic.twitter.com/Qsjvgrt1N7
Vintage streetcars are all street level boarding and I'm not quite sure their widths are compatible with the subway clearances. Or if their single pantographs work with the wiring. Would love to see them in more parts of the city, though.
I believe streetcars all used to run in these tunnels, but yeah, the platforms at Forest Hill have been raised for LRVs.
Yeah I can't remember is any of the tunnels have been altered over the years for LRVs that might preclude streetcar usage besides platform height.
Oh, interesting. In the meantime, I found a very drab-looking vintage Forest Hill with streetcars!pic.twitter.com/OgskYJFYq6
