TO CLAIM THIS CACHE, YOU MUST FIND A FUNICULAR RAILWAY SOMEWHERE
IN THE WORLD! The Funicular Railway principle usually operates with
two carriages on very steep parallel tracks. It could be a single
railway, with bypass rails halfway through the run. Connected by
steel cables, the carriages serve to counterbalance each other - as
one rises to the top station, the other decends to the bottom
station. One other variation could be a carriage that operates with
a counter-balance weight which runs under the railway. These
railways are operated on very steep grades, where no other train
could go.
The Mt. Washington, NH, USA, Cog Railway is NOT a Funicular
Railway. It uses an entirely different locomotion system which is
not cable driven, and does not employ the carriage counterbalance
principle, but IS A VERRRRY interesting ride, nonetheless.
REQUIREMENT: Locate a funicular railway anywhere in the world.
There are public ones and there are private ones. The usual rules
apply. Only ONE LOG PER LOCATION will be allowed, and only ONE LOG
PER GEOCACHER/TEAM. NO logs of railway sites claimed for other
caches! To log your find you must report the coordinates, and name
the location (city, state/province, and country). I USE
LOCATIONLESS PROXIMITY ANALYZER SOFTWARE TO FIND DUPLICATES!!! You
must take a photo of your find with your GPS visible - old vacation
photos and photos downloaded from the web won’t be allowed.
Funicular railway evidence must be visible if at all possible,
especially the steepness of the railway grade. All pics must be
uploaded IMMEDIATELY after initial log entry. Any other rules or
decisions I impose for suspected fraudulent finds are purely at my
discretion.
