San Francisco's cable cars run on a continuous wire loop that circles the inner city. The cars grab the cable to go forward and drop it to stop. It's one of the city's big deceptions because to the unwise you'd assume that the cars powered themselves. Untrue. The power comes from a massive engine room at Mason and Washington.

A Trip to the East Bay: Lowlifes Episode 3 of 10

I left the car in town and took the BART out to see Jennifer Hayes. Gas prices had rocketed and with the freeway traffic likely to be rammed the train seemed like the best option.
