Opis

The American cable car once operated in 29 cities across the United States. However, the once-promising technology proved inefficient, and cable cars were soon replaced by electric trolley cars. Today, they are only to be found as a tourist attraction traversing the steep hills of San Francisco. This text presents the history of this mode of urban transportation, from invention through development and demise.
