However as of 10:00 a.m. 19 Oct 89 there was still no PG&E power to traffic signals and cable car pre-emptes [which trip signal lights to give cable cars the right of way]. Rather than contribute to the confusion of downtown traffic and risk accidents, service was not being restored. Diesel buses are substituted.

Partial service was restored on the afternoon and evening of 19 Oct 89. Flagmen were used at intersections without signals. The California line is still unable to go to the terminal at Drumm Street due to a building demolition.
