FILE - In this Nov. 3, 2015 file photo, a pair of cable cars go past each other on Powell Street atop Nob Hill in San Francisco. The city's iconic cable cars will stop running for 10 days starting Friday, Sept. 13, 2019, while they undergo repairs. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency said Wednesday, Sept. 11, that instead shuttle buses will run along the three cable car routes. The agency says it needs to get the manually-operated cable cars off the street to rehabilitate the gearboxes that power the system that started in the 1890s. (AP Photo/Eric Risberg, File)
