==== How They Work ==== Cable cars operate on a simple yet ingenious system. The cars are pulled along steel cables that run beneath the street, powered by large, stationary engines located at various cable car barns. The cars have a grip that can attach to the cable, allowing them to move forward or stop as needed. Passengers can board at designated stops, and the conductors control the speed by managing the grip on the cable.
