Funicular railway

A funicular railway is a transportation system that uses cable-driven cars to travel up and down steep inclines. It consists of two cars connected by a cable, so when one ascends, the other descends, balancing each other out and conserving energy. Usually set on a track on a hill or mountain, funiculars are designed to handle steep slopes efficiently. They are commonly used in hilly cities, tourist areas, or mountain regions for quick and reliable transit, offering scenic views and a smooth ride while overcoming challenging elevation changes.
