The Cable Car Museum in Wellington is a cool spot where you can step back in time and check out the old-school grip cars and winding machinery that used to haul those cable cars up the hill. You'll see Grip Car No. 3, which has its controls smack dab in the middle, giving off major late Victorian vibes. And don't miss the 'Relentless Red Rattler' – one of the iconic red cable cars that rattled their way through tunnels back in the day. It's a fun little journey through Wellington's transport history!
