Cable Car Museum Secrets Revealed!

1201 Mason St (at the corner of Washington Street) San Francisco, CA 94108 +1 415 474 1887 http://www.cablecarmuseum.com/

If you want to know how a cable car works, this is the place to learn. The world's first cable car rests here and with it a concise explanation of how those little cable cars go halfway to the stars. In an underground viewing area, you can look at the system's enormous cable wheels (in use!), which pull 11 miles of cable at 9.5 miles per hour. The cable cars move by clamping onto it. Examine closely the steel cables, gears, and pulleys that bring this city's most famous transportation to life. Don't miss the gift shop, where you can purchase your very own length of used cable! Admission is free. Ramp and elevators for disabled visitors are provided at the Washington street side of the building. Review © 2009, Wcities
