> The station building itself was a combination restroom and car depot, and also held a gift store and snack concession run by a family named Harris. Besides the regular sightseeing streetcars that visited the area, there were two Private Party Cars, the Sierra and Hermosa (later renamed Golden Gate). These cars could hold up to 40 passengers and could be hired for day-time picnics or evening theater dates, sometimes including a trip with friends to the Cliff House area. The automobile’s popularity eclipsed the Private Party Cars and United Railroad phased out the operation by 1915.

A very similar (could be the same one) streetcar is visible crossing Market Street in that video taken days before the April 18, 1906 earthquake.
