Om
Raske 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.
Høydepunkter: 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.
