Cable Car, Hyde Street
With a top speed of nine and a half miles per hour the San Francisco cable cars have been "climbing halfway to the stars" since 1873. Poet and author Maya Angelou was the first black cable car conductor in San Francisco. For the last 42 years San Francisco has held a bell ringer competition for its gripmen.
