I have a website about cable cars. Gripman Gordon Miller has let me use some photos he took when Cal Cable car 38 was moved last year. I understand from Gordon that the Historical Society owns the car. Is that correct? I am working on an item about the car and the move to put on my website in May. Do you have any information about the car’s history in Lake County and the Historical Society’s plans for it? I will include a link to this site in my article.
By the way, I am a member of the San Mateo County Historical Association.
