Turning a car. For a photo of the inside of the turntable see: http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?11,3589290,3589290#msg-3589290
2. Have It Your Way -- Three cable cars wait to be turned and head back over the hill. Enjoy, Marty Bernard   Date: 05/03/15 17:08 Re: Cable Cars at Powell and Market Sts., San Francisco, May 1980 Author: jgmiller I have lots of fond memories of riding those cars when I was a kid. My family went to SF a lot on vacation and we'd always ride them. Back in the 70's the turn tables didn't move as easy as now and riders could get off and help turn the cars.

Used to have Rice a Roni signs and the two piece destination signs were there in the 1970's and are still there. Larry |
