Hello There,

I saw this type a train/railway when I was living in Switzerland.
This type is not driven with a cable like some others but is totally
independent. The steepest cog railway in the world in Lucerne,
Switzerland climbs grades of 48% !
Here is a link with "real pictures" of several type of funicular in
Switzerland. Most of them are cable driven.

train with cogwheel.
Thanks, Jean-Marc
