@TarkabarkaHolgy San Francisco's Cable Car Museum shows visitors the running cable, diesel engines, repair shop, and underground wheels used for operating the cable cars. (The museum is inside the cable car barn.).

Steampunk engineering still in operation today.

40 years ago, a floating oil derrick struck the Singapore Sentosa Cable Car system. Here's the story and interview with one of the survivors.

"Mr Singh's cable car was one of 15 cars travelling between Sentosa and the mainland when the derrick of oil drilling vessel Eniwetok struck the ropeway at 6.06pm as it was being towed out to open sea."
