California: Getting around San Francisco

This is a slightly geeky post but I like the photos so there. Here is an old school tram. They are painted in the colours of where that individual tram came from. They rescue old trams from all over the US.
Here are some pick from the cable car museum. I love old signs.....


... and old machines. Although this is what all the cable cars in San Francisco run on.

Here is the famous cable cars of SF.

A sideways view from the inside (oops forgot rotate that bad boy)

Here is how they turn them. Technology, aye? It was actually great because this where a crazy man hangs out and shouts at the tourists because they are all going to Hell. He had a hoarse voice that day and was getting heckled by the dudes pushing the car.

The end of the line.....

I love these trees. I think they look like giraffes.

Here is a cheeky view of Alcatraz with the cable car lines
