This is about the construction of the Portland Aerial Tram.  I am
interested in finding out how they plan to string the cable across the
span from one station to the other.  This seems like a difficult task
considering the weight of the cable, major roadways and homes
underneath the path. I would like information that concerns this
project directly, or would appericate information on similair
projects.  I think they would use a helicopter.

I figured out the answer.  A helicopter will lift a smaller cable and
string it through the system.  This smaller cable is then tied to the
much larger tram cable and is pulled through the system.
