Are these details incorrect?

This brick, warehouse-like structure houses the nuts and bolts machinery that keeps the entire cable car system operating. Don’t miss a look downstairs at the giant, spool-like sheaves winding the fat cables round and round.

This is an absolute must stop. First of all, it's free. And in a pricey city, that's a plus. It's educational, without being boring. Learning how exactly a cable car works after a lifetime of using them was truly fascinating. It's a self guided museum, with salty gripmen rather than old lady docents. You'll definitely aquire some new information on the operation of cable cars to astound your friends with at cocktail parties or next time a question comes up on Trivial Pursuit.
