December, 2023 Picture of the Month: Santa waits on the roof of the Santa Express, which will carry him to the Emporium. Note that this item appeared in July, 1952, so it must be a photo of Santa's 1951 ride. (Source: San Francisco Examiner, 1952-07-13). New in December, 2023: On the Cable Cars in San Francisco page: A photo of Santa riding atop a cable car and a 1952 Emporium ad about the Santacade.. Coming in January, 2024: More about the the Johnstown Inclined Plane. Copyright 1996-2023 by Joe Thompson. All rights reserved. |
