Hurtige fakta: Cable cars run on a unique grip mechanism that physically clamps onto a continuously moving cable beneath the street, making each car a moving part of the cable system itself. You can watch the actual giant wheels and cables that pull the cars through the streets from inside the museum's viewing windows.
Højdepunkter: The museum allows visitors to see the massive 21-foot-diameter wooden winding wheels that pull cables through the streets, a rare functional exhibit. Standing just feet away from these wheels gives an immersive sense of the immense power driving the city's historic transit system.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes as you might stand while exploring the cable machinery area.
- Bring a camera for unique shots of the giant wooden wheels inside the garage.
- Visit when the sun is bright for the best natural light through the viewing windows.
- Avoid rush hours when cable cars operate more frequently and crowds can gather outside the museum.

Jeg har prøvet disse i dusinvis af byer, og de har været højdepunktet på næsten alle ture. Hvis du besøger San Francisco, United States, så gør dette på din første dag. Du vil takke mig senere.
