Cable Cars/Museum, San Francisco

The Cable Car Museum is a museum in San Francisco, California. It contains historical and explanatory exhibits on the San Francisco cable car system, which can itself be regarded as a working museum. The museum is entered from an entrance at Washington and Mason. The museum contains several examples of old cable cars, together with smaller exhibits and a shop. Perhaps of more interest are two overlook galleries which allow the visitor to overlook both the main power house, and also to descend below the junction of Washington and Mason streets in order to view the large cavern where the haulage cables are routed out to the street. The museum is open from 10 AM to 5 PM from october to april, while during may to september it is open from 10am to 6pm and is free of charge to the public.The cable car museum only closes on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Nice tourist attractions for SF travel guides.
