Disappearing bus

Sometimes photo geekery can lead to the beginning of a pretty cool urban novel. I found this photo via Ryan S. on Flickr, who said:

This pic was the result of the auto-HDR app on my phone; the bus drove through the intersection while the app was taking bracketed-exposure shots, causing it to look like the bus is being erased.

If I were writing some hardboiled science fiction, this photo would be from 500 years into the future, where my memory of Muni is being projected onto an altered version of my self…

Happy Friday the 13th! Muni rider Geoff sends us this report:

Check out these flickr photos of an F line car i’ve never seen, being tested on the L line.

That so happens to be Muni’s Car No. 1, which the good folks at Market Street Railway haveBrookville Equipment Company of Pennsylvania has been restoring since 2009. Rick L. at MSR says that Muni is testing the car, and that they hope to have it in service sometime this year for Muni’s centennial celebration. Car No. 1 “was just out stretching its legs,” Rick said. He added, “I don’t know when it will go into service. Muni wants to introduce it to the public as part of its centennial year (which started last December 28).”

And in related news, another new-to-Muni PCCs hit the streets recently. Car No. 1080 is workin’ the F-Market lines as of Wednesday. Car No. 1071 started spinning its wheels in late December. @metsfaninCA tweeted us this photo of both streetcars in action yesterday evening:
