San Francisco Cable Car Museum
The San Francisco Cable Car Museum, opened in 1974 on Nob Hill, occupies the working Washington-Mason cable car barn and powerhouse. From its deck visitors watch the engines and winding wheels that pull the cables under the streets, and below is the sheave room; three antique cable cars from the 1870s, grips, models and photographs are on display.
