THEY'RE BACK. CABLE CAR CIVIC CELEBRATION

In conjunction with resumption of cable car service in San Francisco in 1984 after a 2-year shutdown for complete rebuilding of the system, this publication was issued to describe the evolution of this historic transit mode and give details of the renovation. San Francisco Municipal Railway, operator of the cable cars (as well as the bus, trolley bus and light rail newtorks) initiated a campaign for public support of the rebuilding. The private sector participated extensively in the funding. The powerhouse and drive system, track and 34-car fleet are described, along with the public's reaction to the preservation and return of cable car operation.
