10 september 2008 - Wiesbaden (DE) – Nerobergbahn. I’m not sure if this belongs here, but it’s urban transport – the metre-gauge Nerobergbahn dates from 1888 and runs from Wiesbaden to the top of a hill overlooking the city. Its operated by the local bus company. The line is a rare survivor of a cable operated, water balanced funicular – water tanks underneath the two cars are filled at the top and the extra weight takes the car downhill, controlled by just a hand brake and a centre rack rail. At the bottom of the incline is this impressive viaduct. The ‘driver’ is here applying the brake as the car nears the lower station.
