EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this image of the Open Cable Car at San Sebastián, Spain, circa 1907. This engineering marvel, designed by the brilliant Spanish engineer Leonardo Torres y Quevedo, marked the dawn of public transportation via cable cars. The Monte Ulia Funicular Shuttle, as it was known, opened on September 30, 1907, and was a testament to the ingenuity of the time. The image showcases the elegant cable car arriving at the station, its open design allowing passengers to take in the breathtaking views of the hillside and the Bay of Biscay. The car's arrival signifies the end of a journey that began at the foot of Monte Ulia, where eager travelers boarded, eager to experience the thrill of ascending the hill. Torres y Quevedo's design was a groundbreaking achievement in civil engineering. The cable car system, which utilized pulleys and cables to transport passengers up the steep hill, was a precursor to modern funiculars and ferry systems. The open design of the car added an element of adventure, making the journey as enjoyable as the destination. The station, adorned with elegant steps, exudes an air of sophistication and charm. The arrival of the cable car, with its cables taut and ready to transport the next batch of passengers, signifies the continuity of the service, a testament to the enduring appeal of this early mode of transport. This image, captured in the early days of cable car transportation, offers a glimpse into the rich history of travel in San Sebastián and Spain.
