    Your source (~4:12) definitely looks like a regular counterbalanced funi. Also, we’re not talking about the overhead cable here, right? Because I mean the other one. The one where you can even see wheel-thingy turn as the cable moves. (No idea what English name for that is)

      Yeah that’s the cable I was talking about, I didn’t think it was visible in the image but realized you can see it on the second track.

      You’re right, though! This is a true funicular (a few people are saying it can drive single cars but operates primarily in couterbalance which I would kill to get to poke around the mechanical room to see how that works)

      Edit:

      A meaninglessly pedantic distinction in the real world *but in this house we commit to the bit

      And that’s exactly how it should be 😄
