Mount Victoria Railway

The Mount Victoria Railway is an historic funicular train in Wellington, New Zealand, that connects the city with the suburb of Mount Victoria. It operates on a cable system, pulling carriages up and down a steep incline, providing a quick and scenic transit option. Built in 1902, it was primarily designed to facilitate transportation to the popular tourist area and to serve residents. Today, it is a heritage attraction, offering visitors a glimpse into early 20th-century engineering and urban development while still functioning as a practical transport link.
