The Nerobergbahn is a little two car train system that runs on water. They fill up the top car's ballast tank with water, then release it, and as it goes downhill, it "pulls" the bottom car up via a cable system. They pass in this center section of track where it splits. At the bottom, the water is released and pumped back uphill to be put in the upper car again. It was built in the late 1800s and still runs as originally designed.
I just LOVE this shot as it is very appealing and has wonderful perspective.....
Awesome as it really draws one right into the posture....
Thanks for sharing this with us Deb, and you have great eyes to spot this one.....
The lighting is just perfect, and I love how it is filtering through the trees.
PICTURE PERFECT in every way.....
Really cool system! And Mary's right, this would have been a great "green" entry! But, no one would have got it till after the challenge and you would have gotten a 5.3, ROFL!
That is so interesting! I looked it up on Wikipedia (Nerobergbahn). So gravity brings the heavier car down. I wonder what apparatus is used to pump the water back uphill? I guess that technology is ancient.
