Muni&#8217;s T-Line streetcar route to Bayshore was only a few months in service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time, I found the scene fascinating and the location unrecognizable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since that time there have been a multitude of other changes in this area. This has included the construction and opening of the Central Subway route (that offers a continuation of the route on 4th Street) and electrification of Cal-Train&#8217;s former Southern Pacific Peninsula Line to San Jose. I can only image what this area offers now for the transit photographer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"318\" data-attachment-id=\"41426\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/breda-car-taking-the-corner-at-4th-king\/sf_muni_t-line_king_street-san_francisco_may2008brian_solomon_123163\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SF_Muni_T-Line_King_Street-San_Francisco_May2008\u00a9Brian_Solomon_123163.jpg?fit=2048%2C1373\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1373\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;LS-5000&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1742917828&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9BrianSolomon&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"SF_Muni_T-Line_King_Street-San_Francisco_May2008\u00a9Brian_Solomon_123163\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SF_Muni_T-Line_King_Street-San_Francisco_May2008\u00a9Brian_Solomon_123163.jpg?fit=709%2C475\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SF_Muni_T-Line_King_Street-San_Francisco_May2008\u00a9Brian_Solomon_123163.jpg?fit=474%2C318\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SF_Muni_T-Line_King_Street-San_Francisco_May2008\u00a9Brian_Solomon_123163.jpg?resize=474%2C318&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SF_Muni_T-Line_King_Street-San_Francisco_May2008\u00a9Brian_Solomon_123163.jpg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SF_Muni_T-Line_King_Street-San_Francisco_May2008\u00a9Brian_Solomon_123163.jpg?resize=709%2C475 709w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SF_Muni_T-Line_King_Street-San_Francisco_May2008\u00a9Brian_Solomon_123163.jpg?resize=1022%2C685 1022w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SF_Muni_T-Line_King_Street-San_Francisco_May2008\u00a9Brian_Solomon_123163.jpg?resize=205%2C137 205w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SF_Muni_T-Line_King_Street-San_Francisco_May2008\u00a9Brian_Solomon_123163.jpg?resize=1536%2C1030 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SF_Muni_T-Line_King_Street-San_Francisco_May2008\u00a9Brian_Solomon_123163.jpg?w=948 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SF_Muni_T-Line_King_Street-San_Francisco_May2008\u00a9Brian_Solomon_123163.jpg?w=1422 1422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ae6778420975d900594a22e267684e98\" style=\"color:#c91616\"><strong>Tracking the Light Posts Daily!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On a morning in May 2008, I made this photo of a San Francisco Muni Breda-built light rail car taking the corner at 4th &#038;
