The Piedmont Cable Company was a street railway company which operated in Oakland and Piedmont, California. It amalgamated several horsecar lines in the area and built two cable railway lines. It was absorbed into the Oakland Transit Company in 1897, becoming a component of the later Key System.

Cable railway
A cable railway is a railway that uses a cable, rope or chain to haul trains. It is a type of cable transportation.

The most common use for a cable railway is to move vehicles on a steeply graded line that is too steep for conventional locomotives – this is often called an incline or inclined plane, or, in New Zealand, a jigline, or jig line. A common form of incline is the funicular – an isolated passenger railway where the cars are permanently attached to the cable. In other forms, the cars attach and detach to the cable at the ends of the cable railway. Some cable railways are not steeply graded – these are often used in quarries to move large numbers of wagons between the quarry to the processing plant.
Chachersk
Chachersk or Chechersk is a town in Gomel Region, in eastern Belarus. It serves as the administrative center of Chachersk District. As of 2025, it has a population of 8,926.

It is located in an area which was highly contaminated due to the fallout of the Chernobyl disaster.

Effects of the Chernobyl disaster
The Chernobyl disaster of 26 April 1986 triggered the release of radioactive contamination into the atmosphere in the form of both particulate and gaseous radioisotopes. As of 2025, it remains the world's largest known release of radioactivity into the natural environment.

The work of the Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE) suggests that the Chernobyl disaster cannot be directly compared to atmospheric tests of nuclear weapons by simply saying that it is better or worse. This is partly because the isotopes released at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant tended to be longer-lived than those released by the detonation of atomic bombs.

It is estimated that the Chernobyl disaster caused US$235 billion in economic damages.
