Hi k1, your feedback ignited my thoughts on the difference between a cable car and a tram
as in hk we call the cable car running between the peak and central the peak tram...
so i googled
wiki says: A tram (British English), tramcar, streetcar or trolley car (American English) is a railborne vehicle which—at least in parts of its route—runs on tracks in streets.
... The first mechanical trams were powered by steam. Generally, there were two types of steam tram. The first and most common had a small steam locomotive (called a tram engine in the UK) at the head of a line of one or more carriages, similar to a small train.
... The next type of tram was the cable car, which sought to reduce labour costs and the hardship on animals. Cable cars are pulled along the track by a continuously moving cable running at a constant speed that individual cars grip and release to stop and start. The power to move the cable is provided at a site away from the actual operation. The first cable car line in the United States was tested in San Francisco, California, in 1873.
我真的喜歡跟電車一起工作，對我來說，他們的語言是波斯話，他們的思想方法是李天命的課。
模樣的，你知道嗎？」
