noun
Funicular
A particular type of rail transit system which ascends a steep urban or mountain incline, having usually two cars sharing a single track, with the cars linked by a cable and an arrangement of pulleys such that the descending car assists in the hoisting of the ascending car, i.e. the two cars serve as counterweights for each other.
El funicular transportó rápidamente a los turistas por la empinada ladera hasta el mirador panorámico, con sus dos vagones trabajando juntos para equilibrar el peso.
