- Ascensore Montegalletto Funicular Railway. " Transformer " Design. Probably the most unique form of Underground Railway transport in the world !
This is a Underground Narrow Gauge Railway that " Transforms " into a Lift/Elevator. Although the ascensore castello d'albertis-montegalletto is called a Funicular railway the attraction is there for anyone that enjoys the experience of riding something a little bit different. Genoa in Italy has a handful of Funiculars that transport passengers to the top of the mountain. They are all different and they are all an interesting ride !
The ascensore castello d'albertis-montegalletto underground railway runs directly into the heart of the mountain for 236 metres, transforms, and then goes vertical 69 metrers up to street level just outside the Castello d'Albertis. The engineering is very interesting and it must have been very brave of the design team to propose such a challenging design. Well Done ! ! !
Certainly a minor tourist attraction for Genoa Tourism, as also, the views are magnificent from the grounds of the castle.

As a little boy, I used to imagine a huge complex of buildings connected by elevators that ran both vertically and horizontally. Haven't known anything like that existed in real world until watching this
Dear Radek Machan, Yes, this does exist and it is great fun to ride. It is a very clever solution to the problem of living in a city that is on the side of a mountain. It is especially fun when the carriage that you are in starts to go upwards ! ! ! Thank you for the interesting comment. Very best wishes to you and your channel. WooWooMad.
You just imagined the turbolift system on startrek
0:38 "Good morning and welcome to to the Black Mesa transit system....."
Amazing. The engineers are certified geniuses!
Dear Hannah Johnson, Yes, they certainly are, as this is the only one in the world. It was very brave to adopt a system that incorporates some funicular, some tramway and to finish with an elevator technologies. The great thing is, when you stop, you then start to go upwards!!! Great fun to ride, you should ride it one day. Thanks for the comment, best wishes, WooWooMad.
@@WooWooMad I will! 😊
I love watching stuff like this. Really comforting, like I'm on a nice holiday with my family.
Dear jocybum, Thanks for the nice comment. This is a great fun ride to take. You should do it one day! Very best wishes to you and your channel. WooWooMad.
What I love about italians?
They don't knew each other but they are talking as if they were old friends, also involving foreign tourists
Dear gwyster501, This is why we love travelling, always someone to have a nice chat with. Italians are always going to have you believing that you are one of their long lost family members and have you nattering for many happy minutes. Thanks for the interesting comment, Very best wishes to you and your channel. WooWooMad.
what about the Americans?
*So you don't know about the Brazilian, they are the most friendly people in the world.*
@@whitetv3589 Tenho de concordar. ^_^ Mas também fiquei impressionado com os italianos. :)
@@whitetv3589 & @gwyster501 - You’ve just described Venezuela to a T… at least, most of Caracas, both the west side and the east side, although the super-wealthy parts of the east side might be a little more uptight. And along the western border with Colombia of what we call “the interior” people are a little more shy and laconic. But around most of the country we become fast friends pretty quickly, including with newcomers.
this is a very interesting system, a combination of railway and lift, never thought of this kind of system would exist.
Dear perry mac, Thank you for commenting, Yes, this system of transport certainly is a most important example of how to combine the best of two technologies, funicular and elevator. All the informed comments that have gone before have, in essence, agreed that WHY? have other cities, or within company buildings, not tried this combination of engineering techniques? I can only think that it is how left and right hand are thinking with their different mind sets and that it is difficult for the two engineering cultures to come together to propose solutions to projects that could benefit from this type of package. I can't wait for the next project along these lines to be announced as it certainly will create an absolute sensation in the transport business world. Very best wishes to you and thank you for your contribution to WooWooMad.
ok that has got to be about the coolest thing I have seen in a while!
+zartan Dear zartan, Yes, this ride is quite the most different and interesting trip. As I have stated in other comments, I just can not imagine how other cities or countries have not used this type of transport to resolve similar transport problems. Thank you very much for your comment. Very Best Wishes WooWooMad.
life of a jeeper What would be cool is make a model railroad of this,what do ya think?
WooWooMad They do,it's called the subway.
Technically, could this be similar to turbo lifts in star trek?
Phillip Edwards yes
Good morning and welcome to black mesa transit system.
kipparimies seems like the channel creator didn’t reply to your comment
kipparimies moo no
Best way into work ever developed.
Hiss
Now, this is something I call engineering. Clever system, I got to come and see this. And good video, too.
+yumalation Dear yumalation, Yes, this is indeed an extremely clever system of transport that this city have installed. I am now waiting for someone out there in RUclips land to report back that some other city / town / country have had the inspiration to commit to a similar configuration for a transport solution. Thank you for your kind comments on my video and thanks for commenting on WooWooMad.
Really odd but it's great that stuff like this exists.
Bramley Apple-Species Dear Bramley Apple-Species, Thank you for taking the trouble to make a kind comment. This ride really is a trip that anyone who is interested in the rail or transport world should try to make. This format of transport, I think, certainly has not been exploited as well as it could be in other cities, as it certainly has a lot of potential in awkward geographical or geological situations. Very Best Wishes WooWooMad.
That looks incredibly fun to ride! Genoa here I come, someday soon!
Dear Matthew Plato, Yes, it certainly is, especially at the moment when the pit of everyone's stomach changes direction for the upward journey. But in truth, the invention of such a clever system of transport is exactly what is needed for such a hilly city. Do check if the ride is running when you make a trip there as I do believe there has been a few maintenance problems. However, there are other interesting funiculars to ride in the city and it is also a lovely and historic place to visit for a holiday. Very best wishes to you and your interesting channel and thank you for commenting on WooWooMad.
Okay, why the hell haven't they done this to any major cities around the world yet?! This is pure genius!
+StarWarsTrains Dear StarWarsTrains, Yes, Absolutely, This is the big, big question about this form of transport. Suddenly someone has had the common sense to use existing ( relatively inexpensive ) technologies to solve a problem for which a traditional funicular arrangement would be prohibitively expensive. If one quietly sits and thinks about the immense possibilities that have been " stumbled " upon by the construction of this railway it must make anyone with a railway interest wonder why it hasn't been jumped on as a format to introduce elsewhere. For instance, I ( humbly ) suggest, carriages on metros systems that could be brought to street level. Maybe to continue on a surface system. Or, carriages that could be dedicated to particular tower blocks, so that the vehicle could arrive at, say the 10th floor. There does seem like quite a lot of possibilities here that could be explored. Maybe there is someone out there in RUclips land that will build something even more exciting.
Thank you very much for letting me get that off my chest ! Very best Wishes, WooWooMad.
+WooWooMad LOL no problem! Please pardon my language, I tend to swear whenever I get excited or upser about something!
+StarWarsTrains Dear StarWarsTrains, No problem at all, I expect that there will be a lot more comments on this subject. Very Best wishes to you, WooWooMad.
+StarWarsTrains Ever ride the original "Twilight Zone Tower of Terror" in Disney World? same concept
metropod Nope. Never been to any of the Disney parks. I'm not really much of an amusement park person, anyway.
Italian genius at work made great things
Dear fabrizio monaco, I agree ! The group of engineers that have created this little masterpiece have invented a form of transport that could be used in many other similar situations around the world to great advantage. Very best wishes to you and thank you for contributing to WooWooMad.
Ho avuto il piacere di venire a Genova e prendere buona parte degli ascensori, non vedo l'ora di tornare per fare nuovamente un giro e per mangiare rigorosamente da Maria.
Genova è una città molto bella e le funicolari sono molto divertenti da guidare e da vedere tutti i panorami. Molte grazie per aver commentato WooWooMad.
It's fully automated too. No conductor needed. I never knew such a transport system existed. All this time I thought off road Rolligon arctic trucks were the most exotic form of transport.
Welcome to the Half-Life!
Blue Shift
vERY vERY vERY GOODDDD!!! hug from Brazil!! DUTRA
Like HalfLife train! Realy, I saw GMan in second train!
100%
That is very clever!
I've always considered lifts/elevators as funicular railways in a sense, just with 100% grades.
Dear RockyRailroadProductions, Thanks very much for the comment. This little railroad/elevator has proved to be one of the most popular visits to my WooWooMad site to this date. As I have said in previous replies to comments I just can't understand how other cities around the world have not taken the opportunity to combine the two technologies of funicular and elevator construction to resolve particularly difficult transport problems. It truly is a most interesting and fun ride and certainly has a magic and unexpected moment when the vehicle that everyone is travelling in suddenly goes straight upwards towards the sky ! ! ! Thanks again for your contribution, Very Best Wishes WooWooMad.
+WooWooMad No problem! I enjoy finding odd railway systems like this, they're quite interesting!
I can't quite agree, I mean sure, there are wheels on rails involved, but I can't really consider regular elevators miniature funicular railways.
That's what ascensore means in the title of the video. IT means elevator
Dai, mi manca tanto tornare a Italia, baci dal Messico
Come on, I miss going back to Italy so much, kisses from Mexico
Dear BOHEMIANMEX, We all in this family also miss Italy very much. Hopefully we will be able to travel again soon. Thank you very much for commenting on this channel. Very best wishes, WooWooMad.
Caro BOHEMIANMEX, a tutti noi di questa famiglia manca molto anche l'Italia. Speriamo di poter viaggiare di nuovo presto. Grazie mille per aver commentato questo canale. I migliori auguri, WooWooMad.
Basically the Tower of terror without theming 😄
Fabulous ! Gretting from France.
3:41 "Morning, Mr. Freeman! Looks like you are running late!"
Dear The Piqued Pigeon, but he arrives on time👍.
A hybrid between a funicular railway and an elevator!
Dear kevan hubbard, Yes! exactly that. The engineers have been very clever and used a little funicular, a little tramway and finished off with established elevator technologies. It all makes a very interesting ride. Especially when you start to go upwards! ! !. You must ride it one day. Thanks for the comment, best wishes WooWooMad.
I have a fascination with transport of goods and people... Heavy vehicles and machinary is so cool! I have just come from watching metro buses and trains including trolley buses.
Dear TommyKx, Thank you for commenting on WoooWooMad. If you like metro buses and trolley buses do check out the trolley buses and trams in Lisbon and Porto. The fun one to travel on is tram 28 in Lisbon, but get to the stop early as it is a very popular ride. It's a crazy ride up the back of the town through very small streets. The other interesting routes that I find interesting are the trolley buses in Saint Petersburg in Russia as these beauties must have at least come from the 1950's . Istanbul is also a great and interesting place for metro and trolley buses. There is certainly a lot out there to see ! Very best wishes and thanks for viewing WooWooMad.
Hell for claustrophobics. :)
Dear Inge Lamimite, Maybe, but still great fun, especially when you start going upwards. Don't forget Chihuahua companions are also allowed on this ride too so it makes it fun for you. Thanks for commenting, very best wishes, WooWooMad.
Rise and Shine, Mr Freeman...
Dear spicy applesauce, I think that this little ride would be a great thing in Los Angeles. You could travel to the block you want and then go up and get out at the right floor. Mr Freeman would like that ! Thanks for commenting, very best wishes, WooWooMad.
😱wait what is this an train and an elevator in one???🤔 Kool😎
Dear MURRAY ENTERPRISES, Yes ! That's about the correct description of it! However, it is great fun to ride, especially when it starts to go upwards. Fantastic engineering. Thanks for the comment. Very best wishes to you and your channel. WooWooMad.
Wow it's so unique😮
Dear @O2PlantChannel , Thank you for your kind comment. It is a very different and interesting ride to take. It is something that you should do in your lifetime. Very best wishes WooWooMad.
ที่รัก @O2PlantChannel ขอขอบคุณสําหรับความคิดเห็นของคุณ มันเป็นการนั่งที่แตกต่างและน่าสนใจมาก มันเป็นสิ่งที่คุณควรทําในชีวิตของคุณ ด้วยความปรารถนาดีมาก WooWooMad.
That was really cool and looks fun to ride.
Dear WatchingLion777, This is the only one of this type of transport system in the world. The great thing about it is that is is probably the most interesting and fun to ride journey. I have always thought that it would be great to install this type of system in cities or maybe airports, the situation where you can travel to and then arrive at the floor that is required. Thank you for the contributing comment. Very best wishes WooWooMad.
I think Otis elevator had this idea for the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. The lifts would travel horizontally from the carpark into the towers and brought up to split at the aerobridge.
Although it seems that idea was never attempted and the lifts are now just simple double decker lifts.
+Salocin Dot TEN Dear Salocin Dot TEN, Thank you, now that is really interesting! I didn't know about that project. Possibly the fooling about when uncoupling a line of coaches and then to go into transition for the lift was too much to contemplate. The beauty of this project is that it has been kept very simple. When one visits it just appears from the hardware that there must have been a funicular project team and a lift specialist project team. Both teams knew exactly what they were doing in their own world and so the project works like a dream ! Keeping to the one coach at a time seems obvious for simplicity. Hopefully, somewhere there will be a further project attempted along these lines in the near future. This is not rocket science complexity and if used sensibly in the correct context the advantages of this type of system could certainly be quite impressive. Very best wishes and thank you again for your contribution to WooWooMad.
Very interesting.😯😉
Dear Missy Walker, You have an interesting channel ! Something that you may enjoy, go to my channel WooWooMad and have a look at the giant mechanical man in Prague. Amazing ! Thanks for the kind comment. Best Wishes WooWooMad.
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Dear The Kurt's Place Channel, Thank you for the kind comment. Lots of different videos to see on your channel. Looks very interesting. Thanks again, very best wishes to you and your channel. WooWooMad.
Excellent video of this unusual funicular!
Funimag Dear Funimag, Thanks for the encouraging comments. This ride certainly is something quite different and I am sure that there are situations in this world where this configuration could be used to advantage if the design team could seriously consider this option. Thanks again for your comments. Very Best Wishes, WooWooMad.
now that's unique
Dear paladro, It certainly is unique. I think that it is the only one in the world. It sure is an interesting ride, especially when you change direction and start going upwards ! ! ! Very best wishes, WooWooMad.
Part of it actually looks like the planet building corporation from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
Dear Terrance Stapleton, What you say is a strong possibility. But this is great fun to ride especially when you change direction. Best Wishes WooWooMad.
在睡夢中、曾經坐過電梯可上下樓層再加上軌道平面行走，沒想到現實生活中真的有這種電梯，驚訝到了!!
Translation : -In my sleep, I once took an elevator to go up and down the floor and walk on the track plane. I didn't expect this kind of elevator in real life. I was surprised!!
Dear James Syu, Yes ! This is very real. The whole system is a very clever mixture of established funicular, tramway and elevator technologies. The amazing thing is that the engineers have combined these technologies to overcome a difficult geological situation. The bonus from all this is that it is great fun to ride especially when the carriage that you are in starts to go upwards. Amazing fun ! Thank you for the interesting comment. Very best wishes to you and your channel. WooWooMad.
親愛的詹姆士·舒（James Syu），是的！ 這是很真實的。 整個系統非常巧妙地結合了纜索，纜車和電梯技術。 令人驚奇的是，工程師們結合了這些技術來克服困難的地質情況。 所有這些的好處是，騎車特別有趣，尤其是當您所在的馬車開始向上行駛時。 太好玩了！ 感謝您的有趣評論。 衷心祝福您和您的頻道。 WooWooMad.
An elevator with detachable cab? It transforms into a train and vice versa. Interesting concept!
Dear irgendwerausbayern - someguyfrombavaria, Yes, this is a very interesting concept as I think that these engineers have created a means of transport that could be used in many other situations around the world that have demanding geological and economical requirements. I am sure that it could be used in many other situations. Thank you for the comment. Very best wishes to you and your channel. WooWooMad.
@@WooWooMad You're welcome and thanks for the wishes. Greetings from Main-Franconia, South-West-Bavaria, Germany.
irgendwerausbayern - someguyfrombavaria
thank you for the upload of a place that's now going on my bucket list
Dear unoriented_x4, Absolutely, if you are in any way interested in things that run on rails this is a great little trip. The only thing that I suggest that you do is to check that it is running at the time you wish to travel. There has been some odd messages on the web indicating that the local council have been considering their transport options for the area. I do hope that it is still operational. Very Best Wishes and I am sure you will have great fun with your bucket list. WooWooMad.
Thank you for the reply! I look forward to my next rail adventure!
oh cool never seen anything like thanks for this good for the elderly lol!
Glad you enjoyed it
Never seen anything like that before! Amazing!
Dear JohnPW22, Yes, it is an amazing ride and it is to the credit of the designers of such a system that they have combined the two engineering worlds of funicular and elevator technology to create such a unique and sensible solution to a transport requirement. As I have stated in previous responses to comments, the possibilities that this package of engineering has opened up has not even been fully explored. Company specific vehicles, remote entry points to buildings, difficult terrain, airport specific requirements. There must be someone out there to get the ball rolling and design something exciting, for when one sits quietly and starts to think seriously about what this system could actually produce in terms of city communication it truly is exciting. Very best wishes to you and thank you for your contribution to WooWooMad.
A design ahead of its time. Those if it's built now it might probably end up being a ThyssenKrupp MULTI.
Dear mailerdiablo, Yes, you may well be correct, but the beauty of this project is that it appears that the local engineers have come up with the solution to the particular requirements of the situation. They have taken all the best from different known and tested technologies and systems and produced a package that works extremely well. The marriage of funicular and elevator engineering is possibly quite straight forward but they had the foresight to try it. The possibilities that this package can offer, I believe, is absolutely enormous when use in the appropriate circumstances. Individual vehicles could be switched to selected work places and even to the correct floor of a building. This is only a first viewing of this system but if a project was thought out around this package it could start to radically redesign some of the major cities metro systems. I don't think that is an unreasonable assessment. Very best wishes and thank you for contributing to WooWooMad.
Interesting that you are thinking in terms of railways, because I was thinking more of the potential application in a large building. That is certainly possible but it will be challenge for the vertical system to lift several tonnes of metro cars, not to mention the safe overrun distance required (there isn't any here).
Dear mailerdiablo, Thanks for the prompt reply. This week I have just returned from Japan and had a good look around there. What a Place ! ! ! It is just that they are all thinking in a very fresh and interesting way. They change sizes, shapes and methods and it is very pleasing to see! The first question is, why would a metro car be so big and weigh several tonnes? Small "packages" of small vehicles could go in the general direction required and then split to the final destination. I really mean a radical new way of thinking will need to be attempted to take advantage of these possibilities that this system offers. I just hope that some company out there takes up the challenge and installs the next chapter in this story. Very best wishes, WooWooMad.
Ahead of its time how? 'Cause NYC had this before they built the first subway and was called Beach Pneumatic Transit. The only difference is that it didn't go up vertically, but the rest is the same.
Yes. And make it elevator-like where the inside of the cars would look similar to elevator cabs with buttons for different destinations. Also they should make a high speed model that travels at like 60 KM an hour for faster arrival times.
wow metro and elevator 😲

Very best wishes to you and your channel, WooWooMad.
That is truly amazing. It will be a must see on our next trip to Italy.
I would go where ever this is just to ride this looks pretty cool
Dear Terry Ulrich, This fabulous little ride is in Genova in northern Italy. This university city is a very interesting place to visit as it is surrounded by mountains and therefore serviced by funiculars to bring folk to the centre of town. The ride is an especially fun experience, especially when you change direction and start to go upwards. Thanks for the interesting comment. WooWooMad.
Pretty cool idea, I love how it's a elevator and a train.
It's actually just a train that drives into an elevator, which hoists the train up.
Very nice video and fun to watch. Have a nice day.
Dear The Kurt's Place Channel, Thank you very much for the kind comments. This little railway is a great ride as it always is fun to watch the folk in the cabin as the ride starts to go straight upwards. Seriously though, it is a great piece of creative engineering as the engineers have combined funicular engineering with lift/elevator engineering to resolve a quite difficult geological situation. Very best wishes to you and your channel and thank you for commenting on WooWooMad.

Good morning and welcome to the Black Mesa Transit System. This automated train is provided for the comfort and convenience of Black Mesa residents and visitors to the Black Mesa Research Facility. The time is 08:42 AM. Current topside temperature is 91 degrees with an estimated high today of one hundred and five.
Dear SmilingYarik, Thank you for the welcome. I feel that I should take a ride on that transit system. If you ever have the chance to ride this one you will have a great experience, especially when it changes direction and starts to go upwards! Wonderful fun to ride and it is the only one like it in the world. Thank you very much for the interesting comment. Very best wishes to you and your channel. WooWooMad.
Hahahahaha
well done design team
this is like Disney's Tower of Terror ride, without the terror lol
gasmath I had the same thought. It appears to operate in similar way to the Tower of Terror in that a vehicle moves laterally (in this case the "car", in the case of ToT the ride vehicle) and that enters a "cage" to move it vertically. ToT shows, in a way, how this sort of system can be more extensive than this particular one.
thats so true xD
It's sort of like old mines where they rolled a minecart into the elevator to bring it up to the surface.
Dear Trainzguy2472, Well, . . . Yes, sort of. The guys that have designed this though have really thought it out and used all established modern technologies and have produced a great design for use in an urban location. This would be great to use to arrive direct to the departure lounge at an airport. Possibly to arrive in the city direct to the correct floor where the company operates. There are many other opportunities that come to mind. I just hope that there are designers out there that can put this design package into operation to the benefit of travellers. Thanks for the very interesting comment. Very best wishes to you and your channel. WooWooMad.
すごい構造の乗り物だなw

What a conplecated design vehicle! lol
I couldn't expect to change to the elevator.

Dear Serg Ltd, Yes, it is a fantastic and interesting ride. There should be more built around the world just for the fun of the journey. Very best wishes to you and your channel. WooWooMad.
urocze maleństwo, pełne wdzięku.
Dear panikrystyna 1, Tak, to jest urocza, ciekawa przejażdżka. Dziękujemy za komentarz do tego kanału. WooWooMad.
Now I waiting for Headcrab!
初めて見た、、、 すごいこの乗り物！
Translation: - I saw it for the first time ... This is a great vehicle!
Dear Y.Tatsuhiro, Yes . . . I agree with you. This is a little bit of funicular, a little bit of tramway and a little bit of elevator. The engineers have been very clever in thinking of such a design. Thank you for the interesting comment. Best wishes to you. WooWooMad.
親愛なるY.Tatsuhiro、はい。 。 。 仰るとおりです。 これはケーブルカー、路面電車、エレベーターです。 エンジニアはそのような設計を非常に巧妙に考えてきました。 興味深いコメントありがとうございます。 どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。WooWooMad.
I love it
Dear Joseph Shulman, Thank you for the kind comment. Very best wishes to you and your channel. WooWooMad.
I made one of these when i was a kid but it was in the woods and it was in my mind.
Dear Kaiser Basileus, Ah! . . . but this is for real and it is great fun to ride, especially when you start going upwards!
Thanks for the comment, Very best wishes to you and your channel, WooWooMad.
That is awesome!
+pigjubby1 Dear pigjubby1, This ride in railway terms certainly is awesome ! ! ! I wish that everyone could ride this trip as it is difficult to describe how unexpected and wonderful the feeling is when the railway carriage that one is travelling in suddenly goes straight up in the air ! Best Wishes and thanks for viewing and thanks for contributing to WooWooMad.
Excellent, thanks for posting
Dear Ian H. Thank you for taking the trouble to make a kind comment. Very Best Wishes, WooWooMad.
Amazing!
Dear Eugene Kosinski, Yes, this small railway / elevator certainly is amazing and quite a treat to ride. Genoa is a very beautiful city and I am glad that many people are now becoming interested in the funiculars of that city. Very Best Wishes and thank you for contributing to WooWooMad.
Can you imagine being trapped in that miniature contraption underground during a power outage ? I presume this transport has been suspended temporarily, there is no way two mosquitoes could social distance in that contraption.
Dear DAVID KAMEN, When I was in this little funicular it all seemed very ordinary and safe. The whole cave system that was built was originally for foot usage and is very bright and comfortable. The first funicular part of the journey would be very easy to evacuate as there is a footpath along the right side of the track. Elevator technology is, of course, well established around the world and safety issues are governed by well established criteria. Truly, this is a little fun ride that cleverly fulfils a particular geological problem by using established technologies of funicular, tramway and elevator transport systems. Do have a ride one day if you are ever in Genova. It is a different and memorable experience. Thanks for the interesting comment. Very best wishes, WooWooMad.
It’s like Star Trek..... to the bridge captain... amazing... how much is the ticket?
Dear Francelee Paris, Oh! . . Sorry don't know the price of the ticket, but the ride sure is a surprise and a definite one to say that you have done. Great engineering and a great solution to a unique situation. Thanks for the comment. Very best wishes to you and your channel. WooWooMad.
Love to ride that
Dear Wayne Berry, Yes, it certainly is an interesting ride. The best bit is when it changes direction and starts to go upwards. It's so unexpected that this should happen in a bit of public transport. Great design for a difficult geological situation. Thanks for the enthusiastic comment. Very best wishes, WooWooMad.
This should totally be in complete darkness and play a theme that lasts as long as the ride!
It's a washer & dryer on tracks. Rinse, spin, dry & repeat.
Dear Michael Pugliese, That's right, it is a little bit of funicular, a little bit of tram and a touch of elevator. The guys that built this were very adventurous in their design brief. Great fun to ride ! Thanks for the comment, very best wishes to you and your channel. WooWooMad.
very nice castle! very interesting transportation system! Nice video! :-)
+Joe Blattner Dear Joe Blattner, Thank you very much for your appreciative comments. I am just waiting for some other railway or country to initiate the construction of a similar form of transport. That would be very interesting to witness. Thank you for contributing to WooWooMad.

i never saw this before, but i dreamt about something like this too many times to count. every time it was a nightmare. Thanks for the video, and /start sarcasm/ thanks Italy for turning my dreams [=nightmares] a reality. /end sarcasm/
Dear Sapphire Camui, Oh! this little trip is a real treat to ride. It all ends at the top of the mountain with wonderful views. Nothing at all to have nightmares about I can assure you ! Very best wishes and thank you for your interesting comment on WooWooMad.
そのままエレベーターにもなるのか！？
イタリア凄いなぁ
親愛なる加藤宏さん、はい、イタリアは訪れるのに美しい場所であり、この小さな鉄道は乗るのがとても楽しいです。 この鉄道はケーブルカーの一部であり、路面電車の一部であり、すべてエレベーターで終わります。 あなたはいつか訪問しなければなりません。 コメントありがとうございます。 WooWooMadをお祈りします。
Dear Kato Hiroshi, Yes, Italy is a beautiful place to visit and this little railway is great fun to ride. This railway is a little part funicular, a little part tramway and all finishing with a elevator ride. You must take a visit one day. Thank you for your comment. Best wishes WooWooMad.
Great video and what fun that ride is. great idea as well.
Dear Terry Bowles, Thanks for liking the video and it is the most amazing and interesting ride as the transition to the lift is the most unexpected part of the experience. This compilation of different engineering disciplines is a treat to experience. Best wishes and thank you for taking the time to contribute to WooWooMad.

Forgive me but where is Genoa? or this location? The country? Thank you! This truly is mind blowing amazing!
timosha21 Hello timosha21, Genoa is in the Mediterranean Sea on the North West coast of Italy. The city is in the shadow of large mountains and so has a selection of different Funicular railways to connect the various altitudes of parts of the city. Genoa is the sixth largest city in Italy and the birthplace of Christopher Columbus. Do go and visit as it is a very beautiful city. Best Wishes WooWooMad.
I'll second that!
Top Video👍
Dear Seven Welt, Thanks for the kind comment on my video. Hey! I think that your videos are GREAT!! I have never seen this approach to model layout videos before. I have never seen human images combined with model layouts. Thought that the elephant and the drunken man was a great addition. Very best wishes to you and your channel. WooWooMad.
Thanks for looking.
Interessante, non la conoscevo. Grazie per la condivisione.
+alberto arcudi Dear alberto arcudi, La ringrazio molto per aver contribuito in WooWooMad.
