Streetcar Number 9 on 29th Street looking west, c. 1930. This is one of the early Mission District electric car services, running west from Mission on 29th to Noe Street. This was the outer end of the Valencia Street Line. Note the carmen (streetcar conductors/drivers) at right waiting to take over their runs; the intersection was an important relief point for the Mission Street lines. (Charles Smallwood)
