San Francisco Cable Cars

The famous San Francisco Cable Cars at the Hyde Beach terminus (At Fisherman's wharf). The San Francisco Cable Cars are the last manually operated cable cars in the world and have been in operation since 1878. They are pulled by a cable under the street that is gripped from the cable car. They travel at 9.5 mph.

 

They can go up pretty steep slopes, hold on tight when going up and down steep hills!
