There are 3 cable car lines in the city: California, Powell&Mason, Powell&Hyde. Its been a while but I believe the 2 Powell lines terminate here at Powell and Market streets
This turntable is pushed manually the operaters so they can each car on its way to climb halfway to the stars. The cars use a system of cables that run under the tracks. By using a combination of brakes and attaching/releasing from said cable, the cars are able to traverse the hills of their routes.
The California line is a straight shot from beginning to end, Van Ness to Market street. Its no less hilly and will interesect with the other 2 lines at Powell and California? Not sure, but I believe thats right. The California route's cars are longer as well providing twice as much outdoor seating. Their is no seating at the very back of the cars on the Powell lines
