St. Louis Gateway Arch
The tram that was out of service for eight months in the famed Gateway Arch in St. Louis is working again.
A snapped cable had shut the tram in the south leg of the Arch down last July 21, leaving only one route up to the 630-foot-tall monument on the banks of the Mississippi River.
Trams from each leg of the Arch carry visitors back and forth. The north leg of the tram was not affected.
No one was hurt when the cable, one of nine that pull the tram, failed. But tourists were trapped inside for several hours. Officials said the snapped cable came into contact with an electrified rail, causing the system to blow a fuse.
In a typical year, about 1 million visitors make the trek to the top.
For more information on visiting the tram, go to Jefferson National Expansion Memorial: http://www.nps.gov/jeff/.
