Per this post on Facebook (no log-in required), the Western Railway Museum has returned its Muni rail grinder, SFMR 0109, to operational condition following a 30-year period out of service. The car's PNAERC record has been appropriately updated.
I'm not personally very familiar with 0109, but it's certainly a unique piece. It's one of only three surviving ex-Market Street Railway work cars. It's also one of only a dozen preserved rail grinders on the PNAERC list, and may (now) be the only operational rail grinder in a U.S. trolley museum.
