Cable cars were invented by Andrew Smith Hallidie here in San Francisco in 1873. By 1947, the lower operational costs of buses prompted Mayor Roger Lapham to declare, "the city should get rid of all cable car lines as soon as possible." In response, Friedel Klussmann founded the Citizens' Committee to Save the Cable Cars. The committee began a public campaign showing that the cable cars’ value to San Francisco was far greater than their operational cost. In this video, you will hear from cable car gripman and grip woman their passion and love working their job including Willa Johnson, the second female to become a gripwoman.

Great job Anson! I learned so much and had no idea women weren't allowed to even ride the sideboard, much less grip a cable car! So proud!
My uncle got screamed at by Val for putting his hand out the cable car. Val screamed, “What part…of leaning in..do you NOT UNDERSTAND?” That was the funniest moment of my trip to San Francisco, but we never got him on camera. This video shows it all! Thank you for this incredible footage.
SAME
I love how all of you "people" seem to think that acting like an idiot, putting your health and safety and others at risk for the sake of some stupid photo is all just a big lark. Obviously none of you have ever had to deal with things from my side of the picture. I can scream at you or I can call for an ambulance - your call.
I love it. Yes!! Val, Mr. Perfect and Willa, and Cassandra. Y’all keep doing what y’all do; you and the entire cable car fleet from the grip, conductor, turn table, tower, to mechanics and cable machinery and anyone else that has a hand in keeping history running daily. I’m intrigued. ❤️
I have never been to San Francisco, but I would love to ride the cable car. Love to see that crooked street and those hills. The closest was riding trolley cars in Philadelphia.
Do it if you have a chance! I was there 2 weeks ago and I left my heart there. I know I'm going back someday!
So proud of the lady conductors. So glad they kept the cable cars, they are San Francisco.
I got fascinated with the cable cars,whiles watching a rice a roni commercial..hope one day I get to ride one of the cabl cars❤❤San Francisco from Guyana 🇬🇾
Congrats to the employees.
We left our heart in this city. We like the cables.
So much history!! I love that the cable car remains. Such a gem to the atmosphere of SF
Great video,....Sure they don't go everywhere and aren't super fast. But to keep an antique vehicle running and safe, for the whole world to enjoy, makes it worth it. Like many other's I only knew of the Cable Cars from the Rice-a-Roni commercials. I'm 70 now, but when I was in my 30s, my wife and I visited SF in 1988 and 1989. We made sure we took the Cable Cars, often. Hey, if some city had autos from 1910, still available to rent or lease,...I'd be first in line, to drive them around. If you love old machinery, old cars, antiques, early inventions,...the Cable Cars are perfect.
I felt like I was on the famous slope cable car. thank you!
This was a great video! After watching these ladies, I can say that I'm proud I had the opportunity to work there as a woman conductor for a short stint before moving to Light Rail.
The grips last 3 days before they have to be rebuilt? That’s insane.
Yup, exactly my reaction too. Truly insane maintenance needs.
On an old scene from 1930 from san francisco i saw the exact same streetcar this thing is history
Well. I bet they have very good carpenters to repair any wood that was damaged and metal work on the running boards.
It seems to me that hanging on to a grip while the car is moving would not be safe for obvious reasons. I'm surprised it is allowed.
