Then SF converts a TC line to TrolleyCar line 8 to F.

AND  SF has the brilliant ability to construct its TC overhead to make a 
fixed guideway for the TC  --  wires are hung So Far to the inside of 
the curve that it totally removes the maneuverability of the TC AND 
makes it very easy to dewire since the poles are so extended  (esp if 
going through special work)  and to maneuver to correct the same would 
put on into the parking lane or directly into opposing traffic.  
Brilliant Engineers who have never heard of trolleys before designing 
this stuff.
