These large 510 Horse Power GE Electric motors are just a small part of the cable winding machinery driving the cables of the San Francisco Cable Car network at a constant 9.5mph.
Open to the public, if you’re ever in SF, the cable Car Barn and Powerhouse is well worth a visit.

My pictures are taken with a Sony DSC-HX1. What you see is pretty much what comes from the memory card, with maybe a touch of rotation and or cropping.
I probably wouldn’t be taking so many pictures if it weren’t for the camera. It has been worth every penny as it has captured some great memories since I got it in 2009.
Feel free to comment on any of the pictures. I’m all for learning how to improve.
