A quick tour of San Francisco Cable Car Museum located at 1201 Mason Street. Since most of the operation of the cable car is hidden underground, this museum actually reveals many mechanisms that are unknown to most people. There would be many eye candies particularly for Mechanical Engineers to see the intricate designs on how the underground cable go around curves, hills and dips and how the cars grip on to the cable thru all these obstacles.

Free admission, it's well worth the "money".
