Lonely Planet review for Cable Car Museum

Grips, engines, braking mechanisms…if terms like these warm your gearhead heart, you will be completely besotted with the Cable Car Museum, housed in the city’s still-functioning cable-car barn. See three original 1870s cable cars and watch as cables glide over huge bull wheels – as awesome a feat of physics now as when the mechanism was invented by Andrew Hallidie in 1873.
