Key System
Streetcars, Transit, Real
Estate, and the Growth of the East Bay by
Vernon J. Sappers. The east shore of San Francisco Bay, long known
as the East Bay, was served for almost 80 years by a network of
streetcar lines, both for local service and to bring passengers to
ferry piers for travel to San Francisco. The first of these local
car lines began horsecar service in 1869. As the years passed, more
and more lines were built, some of them cable cars with several
different track gauges. These were gradually combine and changed to
a common track gauge and those not already electrically powered were
electrified. This combination became the Key System, with two
divisions, one providing local streetcar service and the other with
express trains connecting to ferry piers-and later to transbay
trackage on the new San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. This book is
the history of the local streetcar lines. In addition to car line
history, much of the book comprises descriptions of individual
streetcar routes, with historic street scenes. Also 47 maps, along
with graphics and ephemera, and 778 photos (45 in color), most of
which have never been published. 480 pages. high quality paper,
