The world's tallest railway train climbed the ridge
Connecting the mountain village of Stoos with the valley, this is the steepest railway for ships with integrated self-tilting mechanism to keep passengers balanced when the ship climbs high.
The world's tallest railway was put into operation, using a 1,740-meter (1-mile) highway to carry passengers up to a slope of 47.73 degrees. This is similar to Australia's Blue Mountains Railway with a 52 degree inclination.
Each ship can carry 136 passengers and is made up of four round compartments. When parked in one of the two stations, these round chambers are horizontal, but thanks to the automatic balancing system, they adjust themselves to keep the passengers at equilibrium when the ship is 744 m (2,500 ft) high. .
These ships move at a maximum speed of 10 meters per second (22 miles per hour) and take four minutes to transport passengers to the hill. This train journey begins at an altitude of 562m and ends at 1,306m, including passing through three tunnels and over a bridge over 500m.
