11:42 AM: San Francisco Municipal Railway’s Powell Street cable car line is back in service this morning after unexpected repairs forced the agency to close it for a few hours, a Muni spokesman said.
Officials discovered at about 7:40 a.m. that repairs needed to be made on one of the cables, agency spokesman Paul Rose said.
Muni ran shuttle buses along the line until about 11 a.m., when the cable cars were cleared to start running again, Rose said.
