I could not find anything on this theme on the Forum. I believe that we only have the one example in the UK, the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Are there others?
I am aware of one in France which is no longer in operation but which carried passengers from sea level in Monaco to La Turbie in the hills behind the principality. I have pulled together a short history of the line and as many photographs of it in operation as I can find.
