Cable Car Musem (Things to do in San Francisco)

now we are at the cable car museum [Music] cable cars were those ones with overhead lines but no it's actually the track Towing the cable car so the cable car itself doesn't have any gas or energy moving it it just relies on the truck the first cable car line was built in 1873 and the Gold Rush was like around 1850 right so that's a little after and there ended up being eight cable car companies [Music] here's a map of all the cable car lines in the 1890s and now San Francisco only has three lines left one of them that still exists is this white one on California Street and then we'll be riding a few of them later on in 1947 after World War II the city wanted to get rid of cable cars and replace it with busted so then the voters wanted some cable car lines back and that's what happened all right we're now underground and we can see the actual Machinery that's being used to power the cable cars up there on the street level so I think this is a map from a while ago because now what the cable cars do is they start here and then they come here and then go down so it's like a continuous run and I don't think they have this one anymore and that is the San Francisco Cable Car Museum my favorite part was seeing the Machinery got operated underneath this cable car and my favorite part how it were said because of brown too there's another another cable car running through a few seconds later this is a great intersection to see them
