If you have not yet seen the amount of work it takes to get a cable car going, then stopping you should watch this video. Learn more of the work of the “grip men” here: http://www.cablecarmuseum.org/

Also interesting to note is that some cars are over 100 years old. I wonder if my grandpa ever rode any of the cars I have ridden when he was here in San Fran?
