W. L. Holman Car Company
W. L. Holman Car Company was a streetcar and cable car manufacturer based in San Francisco, California. It mainly built equipment for rail operation, including San Francisco Municipal Railway's first publicly owned streetcar,[1] and some of the cable cars you see today still operating on San Francisco's California Street line. Holman also constructed heavy interurban coaches and combines (combined passenger and freight-express cars) that ran on inland California electric railroads including Petaluma and Santa Rosa Railroad,[2] Sacramento Northern Railway, and Central California Traction Company, as well as the Sierra Railroad, a Common Carrier line which operated out of Jamestown, California. Some classic Holman cars are in the possession of the Western Railway Museum at Rio Vista, California. [3]
