19-05-21 VIDEOS: Cal Cables

As an interactive living history museum, the San Francisco cable cab system is pretty conducive to shooting full line videos.  However the last time I had been inclined to shoot cable car line videos was before I had purchased my mountable GoPro and it getting a second set of videos, including a first set of the somewhat underwhelming California Line.  The weather wasn't entirely cooperative so the videos on the Bay-Taylor line had to be taken in a slight rain, but the Hyde-Beach line turned out much better. If you missed the static photography from this trip you can find that here.

We start with the MUNI California Line running from Market to Van Ness and back.  It actually took me two takes to get this due to an outbound camera malfunction and you can see the rather backlit first take returning from Van Ness, here.




Here we have the rainy morning trip on the Bay-Taylor (Mason) line from Market to the Bay St terminal near Fisherman's Wharf and back.




Finally, to complete the trifecta of MUNI Cable Car lines, here we have a round trip on the Hyde Line under markedly better early morning conditions. This route is the most popular with the tourists as it stops at the top of Lombard St.




Hope you enjoyed the ride.  Next time join my for an inside look at the disused PRR GWYNN tower.
