Ascensore Castello d'Albertis Montegalletto in Genoa, Italy

The Ascensore Castello d'Albertis Montegalletto in Genoa, Italy is a curiosity that combines narrow-gauge railway and elevator.
The run starts in horizontal way like a (small) train. At half of the way the cabin changes position and starts the vertical run.

It's interesting! Changing the direction to vertical!

Work on the ten-year general overhaul of the Montegalletto lift begins on Monday 1st July. As required by law, 10 years after the last general overhaul which took place in 2014, the system must be subjected to a series of wide-ranging interventions and checks on moving parts and ground components. The complex overhaul work involves the closure of the plant from Monday 1 July until Wednesday 7 August.

Très bonne vidéo, c'est assez insolite. Au début, on dirait un peu le Dorfbahn de Serfaus en Autriche.

[@theelectrickart8515]

C'est quoi le nom de cette cabine ?

[@ErebosSan]

Je ne sais pas si elle a un nom particulier. Elle construite par POMA.

[@sergeyy-ber]

can't you get there by bus?

[@Luigi-uj5ml]

Certainly (trolleybus 20 etc. etc.) as well as by train, as the valley station is a few steps from the Genova Piazza (del) Principe (Andrea Doria) railway station.

[@neaf_clover]

Well that is an "elevator", right?
Well that is a "train" too, right? 💀
