Small, well-appointed museum and machine room symbolic of San Francisco's famous cable cars

Museum and engine room of the famous cable cars inspired by mining transport. Since 1974, San Francisco's symbolic machines have had historic monument status. The city owes them its success in colonizing hills such as Nob Hill and Russian Hill, inaccessible to horse-drawn vehicles. In this small, well-appointed museum, you can admire examples dating back to the 1870s, explore the machinery and even see the last car from the first cable car company.

Impressionnant, instructif et gratuit !!!
Un musée très instructif puisqu'expliquant le fonctionnement très ingénieux des cable cars de San Francisco… mais pas que ! Une immersion sonore dans les rouages des machines puisque vous vous retrouvez au beau milieu de la machinerie faisant fonctionner chacune des lignes de la ville toute entière !
Un endroit irréel, à ne manquer sous aucun prétexte car les grands et les petits seront fascinés à coup sûr… et c'est gratuit !

Un petit musée gratuit au coeur de la salle des machines ! On y retrouve de nombreuses explications sur le fonctionnement des "cables cars" et on peut y voir le système de roulement des câbles. Un endroit très intéressant !

Petit musée gratuit qui vaut le détour. On y voit les câbles partir pour les différentes lignes du cable car, ça grince et ça sent l'huile, c'est super! Une petite histoire du cable car et de San Francisco, photos et objets, et de vieux câble car bien sur!
