Powell Street Car

This single-ended Powell Street cable car is one of many built in the same style. If you're trying to figure out where a cable car is going, just look for a yellow sign like the one to the left of the number "6" in this picture. It travels from Powell and Market Streets to Bay and Taylor near Fisherman's Wharf, then it goes back again. Because this kind of car can only go in one direction, there are turntables at the end of the line where the gripmen can reverse their direction.
