Photographed soon after attending a Eucharist service at Grace Cathedral, I caught MUNI Cable Car 56 rolling east down Nob Hill on the California Street line in San Francisco, California.

Requiring great strength, the Cable Car's Gripman swings the big levers to carefully grip the underground power supply to move the little streetcar into the Embarcadero Station.

A California Street cable car rests in the queue at the Market Street terminal prior to beginning its trip back to Van Ness.
