I love that view! The only cog-wheel type rail I ever rode was in Budapest, Hungary. Very unusual.
Yes, the view is wonderful! This is similar to the Incline in Chattanooga, TN http://www.ridetheincline.com/ You feel like you are going straight down the mountain, but the view is amazing!
I would love to travel on this funicular.
De très belles images qui rendent bien compte de ambiance. Commentaire instructif....merci Livio.
Beautiful photo.

Ciao, complimenti davvero un bel blog!
We have one here that goes up the mountain. Your views are much prettier.
What an incredible view! I would love to ride this train. Excellent photos, as always.
Wow, that looks like a stunning view! I think going up by train is much more pleasant than trying to walk up that great big hill!
Hello from Piedmont (North Carolina). These are great photos, Livio! I love the view overlooking the city.
Wonderful trip, I suppose. As a tourist I would be tempted.
Love the view of the city in the distance.
