1980s documentary on the history and (then) current operation of San Francisco's famous cable cars.
Filmed in 1982 by local cable, just prior to the shutdown and rebuild of the entire cable car system. That's why "Save the Cable Cars!" is the theme at the end.
See youtu.be/56QWZwLMCsA, about the rebuild and the 1984 re-opening of the system.
