Getting TO/AROUND: The Cable Cars ,in San Francisco are a unique thing and they are the only railway in the street where the cars are not powered on their own .
Under the rails there is a large cable that is powered and moved by a central powerhouse and this cable underneath continuous moves and the Cable Car then is '' Gripping '' on to this Cable.
Then a '' Gripman '' controls the movement and the speed of the Cable Car which I will show later in another picture.
It is all wonderful to watch this and amazing how this'' Gripman '' then controls his Cable Car.Very very interesting to see all this
DO NOT MISS a CABLE CAR ride when in San Francisco.
In this picture the Cable Car is at the '' Turnaround at Powell & Market street the route goes down to '' Fishermans Wharf ''
It goes back up ,then gets turned around .

Getting TO/AROUND: In this picture you see a Powell & Hyde Cable Car and you can see how the people ride in these Cable Cars ,they fill them to the Rim there of course are seats but when the sets are filled then you fins a spot on the running boards seems odd and a bit unsafe ,but people love it (including Hansi ) .
The '' Gripman '' is in charge and he decides how many people get on board .
Reallly COOLLL stuff.

Getting TO/AROUND: This gentleman is called the '' Gripman ''This person is responsible for the passengers in the Cable Car.He oversees how many get on and also of course controls the stop and go of the Cable Car using these long handles that go underneath the Cable Car .
I do not know excactly how ,I do know that is was noisy and very tough job to do.
I was amazing to see how steep the streets were up and down.
