cable-cars
Overhead railway vehicles
Cable-cars are vehicles pulled along rails or suspended from overhead cables.
In cities like San Francisco, cable-cars run on tracks using a grip that attaches to a continuously moving underground cable.
Aerial cable-cars—also called gondolas or ropeways—hang from cables stretched between towers, carrying passengers over mountains, ski slopes, or rivers: We took the cable-car to the summit.
