Edward,

The Key System was sold in 1946 to National City Lines who shortly
thereafter replaced all the street cars with busses. The Key System trains
to San Francisco continued to run until 1958 when they were replaced by
buses. I am not familiar with the line to East Oakland as I mainly rode the
C line to Piedmont or the Claremont Ave. Line. There were 4 or five Key
System lines in the 30s and also lines run by Southern Pacific. Hey, the
50s aren't so long ago!
