Old Quebec Funicular - Québec, Québec - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

"The funicular links the Haute-Ville (Upper Town) to the Basse-Ville (Lower Town), which includes such sites as the ancient Notre Dame des Victoires church, the historic Petit Champlain district, the port, and the Musée de la civilisation (Museum of Civilization).

The funicular opened on November 17, 1879, and originally used the water ballast system of propulsion, similar to that still used by the Nerobergbahn in Wiesbaden, Germany. The line was converted to electrical operation in 1907. On July 2, 1945, a major fire destroyed the structure, necessitating a rebuild that was completed in 1946. Since then, major renovations have taken place in 1978 and 1998.[1]

The funicular has the following technical parameters:

Height: 59 metres
Cars: 2
Configuration: Double track
Traction: Electricity"
