Breda Light Rail Vehicles Work <\/span>San Francisco<\/span><\/a> Streets.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Muni<\/a>

Shortly after sunset in May 2008, a San Francisco Muni<\/a> L-Taraval car takes the corner from 15th Avenue to Ulloa Street on the way toward West Portal<\/a>, where the line enters the Twin Peaks Tunnel. Exposed on Fujichrome with a Canon EOS 3 with f28 200mm lens. Eighteen years earlier I made a similar view near this spot, which appeared in an issue of Passenger Train Journal<\/a> in the 1990s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Although less photographed than historic cable cars and vintage streetcars, San Francisco Muni\u2019s light rail routes offer plenty of interesting opportunities to make urban railway images.<\/p>\n

\"San<\/a>
The sun rises through a thick bank of Pacific fog as N-Judah cars pass on August 27, 2009. This was exposed on Fujichrome slide film with my Canon EOS 3 fitted with a 100-400mm image stabilization zoom lens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

San Francisco enjoys spectacular weather and lighting conditions. My favorite times to photograph are a sunrise and sunset. While the modern Breda-built cars lack the flair of historic PCC\u2019s (see San Francisco Muni F-Line, May 2008<\/a>), they still make for interesting subjects for the creative eye.<\/p>\n
