San Francisco
#489 — A scenic picture of a San Francisco Cable
car
coming up Hyde Street. San Francisco's cable
car
s are unique in that they are the only street railway in which the
car
s do not operate under their own power. Instead, the
car
s are propelled mechanically, by "gripping" a continuously
moving
steel cable which runs in a conduit underneath a slot between the rails. The cable is kept in motion by an engine in a centrally-located powerhouse. The cable
car
system was developed in San Francisco because of a guy named Andrew Hallidie whom in 1869 witnessed a horse-
car
accident and wanted to develop a cable railway to stop such accidents. In 1873 HGallidie tested the first cable
car
system near the top of Nob HIll at Clay and Jones Streets. Ever since this date the Cable
Car
system kept growing and became one of the symbols of San Francisco.
