"San Francisco's four cable car lines are all powered from one central location with four 510 horsepower electric motors, one for each cable with its own separate gearbox. A set of six 14-foot diameter sheaves is driven by the motors, around which the cable runs in a figure-eight pattern to reduce slippage. Tension sheaves keep a constant tension on the cable and takes up slack produced by wear, car load and stoppage of cars on the line. The cables are over an inch in diameter, with six steel strands of 19 wires each wrapped around a core of sisal rope"

Probably using the sweet 35 optic and extension tubes, going by the other photo I uploaded that day.
The cable guy came by today. I had him pose for this quick portrait.
