National Cable Car Day marks the anniversary of the use of the first cable cars created by Andrew Hallidie in San Francisco in 1873.
Hallidie was born in England and moved in the U.S. in 1852. Once stateside he created the wire-rope suspension bridge across Sacramento's American River and applied the same technology ore cars, allowing them to be pulled from underground mines.
A little more than 20 years later, Hallidie started working on his cable cars in San Francisco as a replacement for the dangerous and unreliable horse-cars in the hilly city. Today, cable cars are one of the most emblematic aspects of the west-coast city.
