Fun ride on a different sort of funicular. It would be nice if they had a board with technical info, since the motive power for moving the carriages up and down the slope is provided the weight of water in a tank on the car starting at the top. The two cars are connected as usual by a cable, but the upper car is pulled down the slope by the fact that it is heavier than the car that started at the bottom. Once the car carrying the water gets to the Talstation, the water is dumped and then pumped to the top to be reused. There is an attendant on each car, but their only task seems to be to release the brake and monitor the progress of the journey. There is a rack between the rails, and I think a cog wheel on the cars is connected to a mechanism to control the speed...
