a type of railway powered by cables that goes up and down a slope
A funicular is a type of railway system that uses two cars connected by a cable, which move on tracks that are usually built on steep slopes. One car goes up the hill while the other comes down, using gravity to balance the movement. The cable pulls the cars up and down the slope, making it easier to travel on steep terrain. Funiculars are often used in places with mountains or hills, such as tourist destinations or cities with hilly landscapes, to transport people quickly and efficiently.
