SAN FRANCISCO
CALIF. – 52
Back Text (verbatim):
Cable-Car Turn Table. The citizens of San Francisco have re-
sented any attempts to modernize travel up the steep hills that
are now served by the old Cable Cars. So the Cable Car con-
tinues to be one of the City's charms. At the end of the line
the car is pushed on its turntable to head in the opposite direction.
