The Cable Cars of San Francisco - 1963

"This dramatically illustrated study of San Francisco's world famous cable cars is, for the present, the final word on the subject..." "No one who has ever ridden on a San Francisco cable car will ever forget the experience. The freewheeling downhill roller coaster rides, the wild rushes through intersections, the apparently hopeless forays into avalanches of autos, the people who hang onto the outside poles and lean into the street on the curves, the conductors who must remember who paid his fare and who didn't, the gripmen who sweat and strain but who really enjoy it, all belong to the cable car, and to the cable car alone..."
