Funiculi, funicula, funiculi...

#Istanbul #Turkey #funicular

#Funicular from the #Lugano station to the lake level.

Hello from the lovely #Opicina 🇮🇹 #tram. The line climbs from the port city of #Trieste up to the Karst plateau. On the steepest section, a rope-operated pod pushes the tramcar up (and slows it down on its way back) making it a sort of #funicular. The trams were built 90 years ago, in 1935.

#funicular fun today

Idag blir det mer tid mellan tåg än tid på tåg. Ingen bytesstress med andra ord.

Bergbanan i Orvieto är från 1990 och är 157 höjdmeter

New at my Patreon... Fun fact: tourists could once scale Mt Vesuvius – an active volcano – by rail. And this 19th century funicular inspired a famous jaunty song...

Mid-morning Friday I took the #funicular to #Fløyen to go #skiing (as the forecast looked worse for the afternoon). It started snowing as I reached the top, so I limited the trip to a loop around #skomakerdiket. I had to seek shelter from heavy snow underneath a roofed picnic area along with five strangers and a #goldcrest. The weather improved, so skied back down to #Bergen city center. #birdsofmastodon
