===History===

<span>__NOTOC__</span>
<span class="paracap">T</span>'''he''' Ferries & Cliff House Railway was the steam extension of a cable car transit company in San Francisco. The cable cars ran from the Ferry House at the foot of Market street to California Street and Divisadero Street. From there the F&CH ran west on California street then north on 33rd Avenue to the cliffs of the Golden Gate where the route turned west and continued along the cliffs with a spectacular view until it reached the gates to Sutro Heights and the area of the Cliff House and Sutro Baths. The purpose of the F&CH was to bring tourists out to the Sutro and Ocean Beach area.
