The streetcars were of the <a href="/wiki/California_car_(streetcar)" title="California car (streetcar)"><i>California car</i></a> design, with an enclosed center section and open center bench seating at either end of the car, similar to the cable cars used on the <a href="/wiki/San_Francisco_cable_car_system#California_Street_line" title="San Francisco cable car system">California Street line</a>. Single-truck (four wheel) cars 26 feet (7.9 m) long were used on the double track line, and 28-foot (8.5 m) two-<a href="/wiki/Bogie" title="Bogie">truck</a> cars were used on San Jose Avenue.<sup id="cite_ref-wrr_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wrr-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The route chosen by the company was rather unfortunate. They were not able to traverse any of the major streets, as rival streetcar companies already had lines on them. Furthermore, beyond 30th Street, the area of the city was not yet fully settled. With an unpopular route that led to sparsely populated neighborhoods, the company could not generate much revenue despite having nearly 4,200,000 riders annually.<sup id="cite_ref-interurban_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-interurban-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This trend continued after the merger into URR well into the 1920s, when electric streetcars were at their most profitable.<sup id="cite_ref-sfsm_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sfsm-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The line also gained a reputation for being dangerous. Although the company had built a <a href="/wiki/Counterweight" title="Counterweight">counterweight</a> system to slow cars on a Harrison Street hill between 2nd and 3rd, no such system was added to another hill on Chenery Street, which became the site of a number of runaway cars. Even an injury to a boy there on opening day did not spur the company to action. After a few such accidents, the company finally relaid the track and purchased cars with better <a href="/wiki/Brake" title="Brake">brakes</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-sfsm_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sfsm-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The counterweight was removed in 1893.<sup id="cite_ref-Vielbaum12_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Vielbaum12-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>By late 1892, the company opened <a href="/wiki/33_Ashbury/18th_Street" title="33 Ashbury/18th Street">a second line</a> from the <a href="/wiki/Mission_District,_San_Francisco,_California" class="mw-redirect" title="Mission District, San Francisco, California">Mission District</a> to Douglass Street via 18th Street, hoping to cash in on the <a href="/wiki/Golden_Gate_Park" title="Golden Gate Park">Golden Gate Park</a> traffic (the intersection of Douglass and 18th, however, is about 0.8 miles (1.3 km) southeast of the park). They were able to extend this to within five <a href="/wiki/City_block" title="City block">city blocks</a> of the park, but could go no further because the <a href="/wiki/Market_Street_Railway_Company" class="mw-redirect" title="Market Street Railway Company">Market Street Railway Company</a> had their line on Frederick Street, which denied the SF&SM any further access.<sup id="cite_ref-sfsm_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sfsm-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The company did find one new source of revenue, however. The SF&SM served <a href="/wiki/Holy_Cross_Cemetery,_Colma" class="mw-redirect" title="Holy Cross Cemetery, Colma">Holy Cross</a>, Lawn, Mt. Olivet, Cypress, and Woodlawn cemeteries, all in Colma (via the cemeteries' own tracks). As a result, funeral traffic became a consistent source of income. Special funeral trains were run consisting of a short mail, express, and funeral car carrying the casket, followed by one or more conventional passenger cars carrying mourners. A September 18, 1893 newspaper article describing the first use of the car notes a charge of $10 to carry the casket, with the regular fare of 10 cents for each mourner.<sup id="cite_ref-wrr_6-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wrr-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Unfortunately, this was not enough to cover the debt incurred from the line's initial construction as well as subsequent <a href="/wiki/Interest" title="Interest">interest</a> payments, forcing the company into <a href="/wiki/Receivership" title="Receivership">receivership</a>. The receiver subsequently was granted permission by the Market Street Railway to use a portion of their line and the SF&SM <a href="/wiki/33_Ashbury/18th_Street" title="33 Ashbury/18th Street">18th & Park line</a> finally opened in November 1894 (this eventually was converted to San Francisco's first <a href="/wiki/Trolleybus" title="Trolleybus">trolleybus</a> service in 1935).
