Wearing heavy leather gloves, John S. "Jack" Greer holds the "gripper" lever on the 11th Street cable car in this photograph from January 1938. The Tacoma cable car system, operated by the Tacoma Railway & Power Co. ran up 11th Street from A to K Streets, and down 13th Street in a big circle. Tacoma's cable cars started running up 11th Street in 1892. Jack Greer started working for T.R & P. in 1913. The last cable car run was on April 7, 1938. (T.Times, 1/22/38, p.1).
