Postcard: Sky Tram Over the Pacific Ocean, Seal Rocks, San Francisco,            California, card mailed and postmarked 11 October 1955.

Although I have been familiar with San Francisco beginning a few years after this card was mailed, I have no recollection of a Sky Tram at Lands’s End/Seal Rocks. I remember the amusement park on the beach just downhill but no cable car like the one shown. I do not know anything about either the sender or recipient of the card. In my cache of old postcards there are several with the Hoch name at various addresses in Portland and Tacoma.

The lowlands are finished, and finally we're getting to the mountain part of the Boreal Mountain. And to get up that mountain, I'm building a sky tram. Inspiration for the two stations comes from the ski lifts that are common around the European Alps, and I assume also around other mountain ranges where people go for winter sports vacations.

Enjoyed a dip in the hot pool and built…

Sky Tram at Dusk.

Sky Tram at Dusk.

Here we have a variation on a theme. Previously I published photos on Tracking the Light of Dublin’s LUAS specially painted Sky tram, and on a different day a panned image of a LUAS tram crossing Kings Bridge (Sean Heuston Bridge) near Heuston Station.

The other night on my way over to the Irish Railway Record Society premises (where I’m doing a big of research in the library), I noted the…
