Cable Car Museum

San Francisco has an awesome museum where we learned about the history of the cable cars. We were even able to see the machinery that still operates the cable cars today in action.

Did you know that cable cars require no electricity to operate? I didn't until we visited the museum. I also learned San Francisco is the only city with cable cars still in operation.

The lines of the cable cars being pulled around the city. 

Cable Cars through the Years 

More Working Pulleys 

This is what stands between you and a cable car stopping. 

Hope all the parts are in working order.
