Remarks & Notes 
Car # 2 of the Stoos funicular railway, which opened in december 2017 and is the steepest in the world (110 % or 48 degrees), on the upper part of the line with a moderate grade. The four passenger compartments and the freight compartment on the car rotate automatically, so they are level at all time. The cars run at speeds up to 10 metres per second (about 36 km/h or 22,4 miles per hour). The 1740 meter long line has 3 tunnels of 267 m, 121 m and 239 m. The car weighs 27 ton empty, can transport up to 136 passengers, the time of the ride is 4 minutes and the diameter of the pull cable 54 mm (2,125 inch)
