Like in a museum, the old rolling stock of this rack railway is here. At the front of the station and further back at the depot.
Funny: For the 2nd generation rolling stock the electrification of the track was planned. Since the money went out and the electric railcars were already delivered. What to do? A huge diesel engine was mounted on a special car. This produced the power for the railcar. The special car was always attached directly to the railcar.
The noise of the two engines must have been tremendous.
