September, 2023 Picture of the Month: Gripman and historian Val Lupiz and conductor Derrick Johnson pose with the One Spot. They operated the car that day. Please excuse the tilt; I think the photo captures an important moment.

New in September, 2023:

01-September-2023 is the Sesquicentennial (150th) of the cable car entering regular service.

On the Centennial and Sesquicentennial of the Birth of the Cable Car page: An article about the Cable Car Sesquicentennial Celebration.

Coming in October, 2023: More about the 150th birthday of the cable cars
