Once in a while, the San Francisco Cable Cars lose the cable on an incline and need a push up the hill. I've heard that sometimes the cable is greased up too much causing the clamp to slip. I wonder if that is why the cable car didn't re-attach to the cable on the flat section, and instead had to be pushed up the second hill.
It was a lot of fun to watch the guys run the cable car, and the Cable Car Cafe was such a cute place for breakfast with a view!
