Market Street Railway is the nonprofit preservation partner of the San Francisco Municipal Railway (Muni), the city agency that owns and operates San Francisco’s transit system, including its historic streetcars and cable cars. While we support Muni’s historic transit activities, we are not part of Muni and we receive no government money whatsoever. Instead, we rely on membership dues and private donations to help keep San Francisco’s past present in the future by serving as an effective independent advocate for the famed historic streetcars of the F-line, and the national landmark cable cars, which together carry more than 40,000 riders per day. We also operate the San Francisco Railway Museum, a little gem that packs a great experience into a compact space. The museum is a celebration of San Francisco’s rail transit history, focused on exploring the positive impacts streetcars and cable cars have made on the quality of urban life in this great city. It is designed to complement and serve as an information center for the historic rail vehicles of the F-line and cable cars. The gift shop portion of the San Francisco Railway Museum offers a variety of unique San Francisco gifts you won't find anywhere else. Admission to the museum is free. Open Tuesday - Sunday 10:00am - 6:00pm Closed Mondays Located near the Ferry Building at the F-line Steuart Street stop at the south end of Ferry Plaza.
