-- On August 2, 1873, Andrew Hallidie tested the first cable car in San Francisco. He conceived his idea in 1869 while watching a team of horses being whipped as they struggled to pull a car up wet cobblestones on Nob Hill. He formed the Clay Street Hill Railroad and was awarded a contract to build the city's first cable car line up Nob Hill. Fourteen months later, on August 2, 1873, the first cable car made its way up Clay Street.

Catherine

About Catherine: I have been writing frugal tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three sons, who are all grown up - and re-married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and Bella, the cat.
