The Cable Car Home Page - Train Spotting/Page 1

by Joe Thompson

During the last half of 1998, I did some train spotting on my lunchtime walks. I finally saw Car 12 during January, 1999. I didn't spot Car 9 because it had been in storage since it was damaged in an accident in 1995. New Car 9 rolled out on 24-April-2000. I finally saw it on the street on 24-August-2000.
