The Cable Car History San Francisco by c3transport: 9:25am On Sep 24, 2021 |
San Francisco cable car system is the world's last manually operated cable car system. Cable cars were invented by Andrew Smith in 1873 in San Francisco. Andrew's cable car system was based on early mining conveyance and it dominated San Francisco's transit scene for more than 30 years. Andrew's idea for a steam engine-powered, cable-driven rail system was conceived in 1869, after witnessing horses being whipped while they struggled on the wet cobblestones to pull a horsecar up Jackson Street. Andrew's father was an inventor who had a patent in Great Britain for "wire rope" cable. Cable cars now are a historic symbol of San Francisco recognized around the globe and offer real working transportation up the steep hills of San Francisco.
