A Funicular Train is used for transit of passengers and/or cargo.
- It is a type of train.
- It is an element of a world's infrastructure.
Description (Specifications)
A funicular railway uses a pair of passenger vehicles which are moved up and down a steep incline by being attached to a cable set on to a pulley wheel. The two vehicles move synchronously and counterbalance one another: while one vehicle is ascending, the other one is descending.
The name "funicular" itself is derived from the Latin word funiculus, the diminutive of funis, which translates as "rope".
