So how do those famous Cable Cars get reversed for the other direction of their route? Through a turntable and by manual labor! Watch and see how transit workers prepare this cable car for its return route. Also take note of two scenes in the beginning of this video, which show one of the steepest streets in San Francisco and this homeless woman who was by the turntable... can we say scene from Home Alone?
