The line was opened in 1878 after Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins, Charles Crocker and associates secured a 25-year franchise to construct and operate a "wire cable railroad" from Kearny Street to First Avenue. Passengers include Adolph Sutro, holding the trailer grabiron, and Mark Twain, in silhouetted profile on the dummy.
