Taking over from a previous horsecar operation, the Market Street Railway electrified streetcar line along Mission Boulevard opened on September15, 1894. Following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, service resumed on May 6. The service acquired the number 14 in 1908. The southern end of the line was largely rebuilt between 1935 and 1936. Also by the 1930s, cars would continue further south at certain times. Rush hour service ran as far south as South San Francisco. All Sunday cars continued to Holy Cross starting in April 1948. with buses operating the route until 1952 when the line was fully converted to trolleybus operation. Bay Area Rapid Transit construction on Mission Street greatly disrupted 14 Mission operations throughout the late 1960s. == References ==
