Silas Warner wrote the quoted material below:

" San Francisco's trolley lines NOW all end in turnaround loops.  This
" was NOT the case when PCCs first ran.  At that time the J-Church and
" M-OceanView lines ended in wyes.  A car terminating at Church and 30th
" would have to back up about a hundred feet to go around the wye and
" reverse.

During commute hours, the J Church still does turn around about every
other car at 30th and Church.  They wye is still there and is used every
weekday.
