What is a cable car?

San Francisco is the city famous for its cable car system. A cable car is a vehicle with no motor. It is moved along a track by a cable. There is an engine at some point along the route which pulls the cable through a system of pulleys. A groove in the pavement keeps all of these mechanics below ground level and each car has an arm which can reach into the groove and grip the cable. The cable moves continuously and the car operator releases the cable to stop and grips it to start. A funicular railway, or cable railway, is similar but the cars are permanently attached to the cable and the cable must stop when the cars stop. These are usually used where there are no intermediate stops.
