Davy and I have fun at the Fenelon Place Elevator Company's 4th Street Elevator, Dubuque, Iowa, July 2011. Often called a cable car, it is a funicular elevator, two counter-balanced cars that are led up and down the bluff by cables. It is 296 feet long and elevates 189 feet. Originally built 1882, rebuilt several times. Surprisingly quiet. Rickety, but Davy would have done it all day.
