Cable Car That Survived The 1906 Earthquake Returns To Service
I have a strange confession to make. I was born and raised in San Francisco and I have only ever ridden on a cable care three or so times, and it was always as a point A to point B ride. Kind of like the shoemakers children go barefoot.
Despite this strange statistic, I am fascinated with and in love with the San Francisco Trollies.
I love the classic line from Tony Bennett' "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" when he sings, "Where little cable cars climb half-way to the stars."
That being said, this is a facinating story of a cable car built 118 years ago being completely refurbished for the second time in its life and placed back into service on the Streets of San Francisco
