The San Francisco Railway Museum is dedicated to railway history and is positioned within San Francisco's South of Market district.
This institution features displays highlighting vintage streetcars from the F Market & Wharves route as well as the iconic San Francisco cable cars that continue to operate citywide. Located at Don Chee Way adjacent to Steuart Station and directly across from the Ferry Building, the museum offers free entry to visitors.
Its collection comprises historical items from both the Market Street Railway Company and the San Francisco Municipal Railway. Among its exhibitions are a detailed look back at the 1906 earthquake and a reproduction of the now-defunct MSR '100-Class streetcar'.
Managed by the nonprofit organization Market Street Railway—which advocates for preserving Muni’s historic transit—the museum officially opened its doors on October 7, 2006.
