Day 47: Wellington Cable Car

Here are some assorted pics of our trip on the Wellington Cable Car. The view was stunning from the top. Others walked down. We took the cable car both ways.

The idea of the Wellington Cable car was born in 1889. Work on the tram begun in 1899. February 22, 1902 the first cable car tram ride took place. Over 425,000 passengers in the first year of operation. 22 September 1978 the old cable cars made their final run, replaced by newer style trams. With well over 120 years of service and 1.17 millions visitors to ride this historic tram each year. The Wellington Cable Car is one of those “must see” tourist spots in Wellington. We are happy to have taken the ride up to the top.
