Description: In this picture we are looking straight up the tracks at the Cable Incline rail tracks. Note there are three rails. One car going up uses a side rail and middle rail. The other car coming down uses the middle rail and the other side rail. A cable car is already partially up the incline. Farther up the two cars will pass each other on a widened section. Steps to the left and right at the bottom allow easy passenger loading and unloading.
