Bin there, done that.

Scenic railways, Katoomba, Australia. Trodde jeg hadde lenket denne her før, men fant den ikke.


Bratt

Forstår først ikke hvorfor man nærmest legger seg inn i vognen når man stiger inn, men så kommer man over kanten og står på seteryggen foran.

Kort fra Wiki
"The Scenic Railway is said to be the steepest cable-driven funicular railway in the world, with an incline of 52 degrees over a distance of 415 metres. It was originally constructed for a coal and oil shale mining operation in the Jamison Valley in the 1880s, in order to haul shale from the valley floor up to the escarpment above. It was converted for use as a tourist attraction prior to World War II."

Man er fortsatt ikke på bunnen av dalen når man kommer ned.
Kabelen og motvekten kan observeres fra "jernbanevognen" underveis.
