Kiev funicular
Work on the "device electrical cable railway" that would connect with the St. Michael's Mount Boricheva current, produced since 1903, and ended in the spring of 1905. The initial draft provided for a length of 250 meters of ascent, but due to the inability to carry a lower limited private house building two hundred meters "cable car».
Equipment cable car and truck of his cars were made in Switzerland, which had extensive experience in the creation of the cable cars. Two DC motor with a voltage of 500 volts and a capacity of 65 hp each ensure reliable operation. One of the engines was a spare. Directly connected to the engine was a special band brake, actuated either automatically or at the behest of the mechanics. This brake is not allowed to develop higher speed operation and prevented cars hit on the top or bottom of the buffer station. Both the car had a capacity of 70 passengers, and moved up and down at a speed of two meters per second.
May 7, 1905 held a trial for builders and mechanics start funicular. The next day, May 8, began the transportation of passengers.

Hours: 6:00 to 23:00. Fare: 1, 50 UAH.
The difference in height between stations: 75 m. Length of the route: 222 m. Slope: 18-20 ° Track width: 1200 mm. Rails: Special RG-41.
A mystery to me why such a big hole under the tracks at the station. There fall - bones do not gather.
In the summer of 1928 was an accident. During repairs, when you change the top rope car broke down and ran to the bottom. Users will not be affected, and the cars were completely destroyed. They had to rebuild from scratch.
Assembling cars on site. During the renovation, in 1929, the cable car line was extended for another forty meters to the Postal Square

At the junction extreme continuous rails, inner - cutting. One wagon wheels with the left two flanges and the right cylinder; This car always goes on the left side of the junction. The second flange on the right-hand wheels - it goes on the right. Left from the dispatcher (ie, relative to the upper station) car signed the letter "L", the right - "P".

In the mid-1980s was a new reconstruction of the cable car.
