cable-car
Hillside hanging transport
A cable-car is a vehicle that moves along a cable, either suspended from an overhead line or pulled along tracks by an underground cable.
Suspended cable-cars carry passengers up mountains or across valleys: We took the cable-car to the summit.
San Francisco's famous cable-cars run on street tracks, gripping a continuously moving cable beneath the pavement.
