+++++ And this is what Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"For me, San Francisco is a city of delightful memory. When I, a small-town
boy, first visited the City-by-the-Bay with my dad, I was awakened to the
excitement of city life. I have been an admirer of urban communities ever
since. And images from that first visit have been a source of continuing pleasure.
How well I remember riding the Powell Street cable car all those years ago,
rounding a corner, and first glimpsing the magnificent panorama of the bay as
the track plunged down Hyde Street toward the end of the line. There, at the
turn-around, was the bustle of street life - performers and musicians
gathered to entertain the waiting riders. I remember the famous Ghiradelli
Chocolate sign, the vibrant activity on Fisherman's Wharf, the dramatic
presence of distant Alcatraz Island. But most of all, I remember the vast
expanse of the bay in all its glory.
My Hyde Street and the Bay, San Francisco heightens the nostalgic sense of
fond memory by placing vintage cars on the street and historic ships at
anchor in the bay. The bustling energy of San Francisco seemed alive to me as
I worked on Hyde Street and the Bay, San Francisco. I could almost sense a
brisk breeze blowing up from the bay, a subtle taste of salt air, and the
enchanting clang of the cable cars as they made their ponderous way up Hyde Street hill."

Early Cable Car History
~~~The driving force behind the San Francisco cable car system came from a
man who witnessed a horrible accident on a typically damp summer day in 1869.
Andrew Smith Hallidie saw a horse- drawn streetcar slid backwards under its
heavy load~~The steep slope with wet cobblestones and a heavily weighted
vehicle combined to dragged five horses to their deaths.
Hallidie had been born in England and moved to the U.S. in 1852. His father
filed the first patent in Great Britain for the manufacture of wire- rope. As
a young man, Hallidie found uses for this technology in California's Gold
Country. He used the wire-rope when designing and building a suspension
bridge across Sacramento's American River. He also found another use for the
wire-rope when pulling heavy ore cars out of the underground mines on tracks.
The technology was in place for pulling cable cars.

San Francisco Transport
~~~For years, San Francisco has been collecting old trolley cars from various
cities throughout the world, under the auspices of the Market Street Railway.
Previously brought out only during the summer and on special occasions, these
historic vehicles now have their own line, the F-Castro line, which stretches
from the Castro District, down Market Street, along the Embarcadero and
ending up near Fisherman's Wharf.
