Cable Car Confidential
(2002)Outrageous, Absolutely True Stories from San Francisco Gripman
A non fiction book by Susan Holtzer
This slim volume contains stories and anecdotes told to the author by San Francisco gripmen, whose job it is to control the speed on cable cars. Collectively, they draw a portrait of what it's like to do this job, relating tales of interactions with tourists and public transport management, near accidents, and cowboys who get their cable cars running at over 50 miles per hour down the steep San Francisco streets.
