ex. Eschenstrasse 4 track rail same power system like SBB and ex. Brünigbahn We make a timetravel to 2010 before the opening of the tunnel in Luzern and the opening of the Engelbergtunnel the maximum decline was 249 per mille with cog wheel drive. It shares parts with the ex. Brüniggbahn. Today the railway is part of the Zentralbahn. As than they drove with the old LSE delivery. http://engelbergbahn.ch/ Timetable field: 480 Line length: 24.78 km Track gauge: 1000 mm (meter gauge) Power system: 15 kV 16,7 Hz ~ (as SBB, DB, ÖBB and Brünigbahn) Maximum gradient: Adhesion 34 ‰ Rack and pinion: 249 ‰ Rack and pinion system: Riggenbach (as Vitznau and Arth-Rigi-Bahn) Rolligstock: cabcar LSE ABt 30 powercar LSE BDeh4/4 passenger loco LSE De 4/4 passenger coach LSE EW2 passenger coach LSE center entry coach
Excellent idea but if you set this in the present-day what happens inside the Engelberg Tunnel it has a Riggenbach Rack System installed
The locos just cruise up the rack - 10 km/h through the strike in at the entrance then 50 km/h up/down - it's Lamala IIRC in the tunnel as that's replacing Riggenbach (it's compatible and much cheaper/sturdier)
