	Cable car (railway) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cable cars are sometimes confused with funiculars, where the cars are permanently attached to the cable.
		Cable cars rapidly spread to other cities, although the major attraction for most was the ability to displace horse-drawn (or other animal-drawn) systems rather than the ability to climb hills.
		A cable car is superficially very similar to a funicular but differs from such a system in that it cars are not permanently attached to the cable and can stop independently, whereas a funicular has cars that are permanently attached to the propulsion cable, which is itself stopped and started.

	The Wellington Cable Car
		The cable, a mile long wire rope was wound up and down the track by a 12 foot driving wheel, then run around huge pulleys as either end of the track, and through the driving mechanism.and#0; The cars were joined together with a second "tail" rope, independent of the driving rope.
		In early 1976 the Cable Car was shut down for a further two months for another overhaul required by the Ministry of Works and in June of that year the council finally decided to replace the cars with a fully automatic version.
		Wellington Cable Car chose to conduct their own maintenance from 1994, and the contract with Stagecoach was not renewed.

		It voluntarily dissolved on 13 February 1947 and the cable cars became city-owned and operated.
		The cable cars' potential as a tourist attraction was becoming increasingly apparent to the Council by the late 1950s.

		A gripper lever in the descending cable car gripped the cable.
		As this car was pulled down the slope, a second cable called the tail, or balance, rope (this was independent of the haulage cable and attached to both cars) hauled the ascending car up the slope.
		Yet despite this and other setbacks, including several slips in the tunnels and the late arrival of the cable and rails from England, the cable car system was completed by early 1902 and ready to convey its first passengers up the hill to Kelburn.
