I find funiculars fascinating: such an ingenious solution, using one car to counterweight the other, and they can have the Abt switch, the only rail switch in the world that doesn't have moving parts.

Yes, but this involves special wheels, without a flange on the inner wheel side and with two flanges on the outer wheel side. Not possible to drive at high speed.

Dear Passions. There is a wrong stat in the beginning. This funicular doesn't have a maximum incline of 35% as you describe it. It does have a maximum incline of 63%, what means 32,61 degrees. Maybe you switches something :) Anyway: Nice video, love it!

[@YvesMamin]

Thank you for the remark this error remained unnoticed until today ! I have the value of 64% in my data. A correction subtitle has been added

@@YvesMamin Cool! It's not really important and only full power high class extreme nerds like me will recognise it 😜 Great video anyway, as I mentioned before.
