Some time ago, Metropolitan Transit System purchased 3 Post-War model Presidential Car Company Historic Street Cars which will travel around the downtown San Diego loop at fifteen minute intervals when restored and repainted in the historic San Diego Electric Railway colors. As part of this transaction, the San Diego Electric Railway Association was created as a Subsidiary of Metropolitan Transit System.
These cars were previously operated by the San Francisco Municipal Railway, commonly known as MUNI.
The Table below provides a cross-referencing of the former San Francisco Municipal Railway Number and how it correlates to the new San Diego Electric Railway (SDER) number.
The PCC Service will be known as the Silver Line, and will be in addition to the Blue, Green, Red, and Orange Lines, operated by the San Diego Trolley (SDTI), an other operating subsidiary of the Metropolitan System.
These cars were purchased as part of the preparation for the 2008 American Public Transit Association Conference in San Diego.
The last car in the original SDER Fleet, which was retired from service some time ago, was the SDER #528. These cars will continue the series in sequence.
