This is a normal post I rode the Roosevelt Island Tramway in New York a few weeks back. I'm glad that sweary bastard wasn't on it.
Not sure why they call it a tramway, because it is definitely a cable car.

This is a normal post Here in Merika
A Cable Car is one of these.

By the way, if you ever go to San Francisco - it really doesn't look much like that fantasy. Here is the Google street view of the same location.

This is a normal post That's a fucking tram.
I suppose it comes as no surprise though, considering the definition of 'football' over there.
And 'gun control'.

This is a normal post It is powered by a moving cable under the tracks
So that is why it is called a cable car. A tram has a motor (engine or electric motor) and that is a world wide definition, I think.
