Ferries & Cliff House Railway

The Ferries & Cliff House Railway was a transit company operating in San Francisco. Begun in 1888 as the Park and Cliff House Railroad, the railway operated cable car lines through the city. While initially expansive, the company struggled financially and was merged into the Market Street Railway in October 1893. The modern San Francisco cable car system features several former Ferries & Cliff House Railway assets which remain in use, including the Powell–Mason Line and the powerhouse at Washington and Mason.
