Description

The PowellHyde (Line 60) line runs north and steeply uphill from a terminal at Powell and Market Streets, before crossing the California Street line at the crest of the hill. Downhill from this crest, the cable car turns left and uphill again along Jackson Street, to a crest at Hyde Street. The line was split together using remnant portions of the O'Farrell, Jones & Hyde line and the WashingtonJackson line, and manually-powered turntables turn the cable cars around at the two ends. This line is widely popular with tourists and often has long queues.
