Revision as of 15:10, 23 September 2018
The Pfaffenthal-Kirchberg Funicular is an automated funicular in Luxembourg. The line links the Pfaffenthal-Kirchberg railway station, on the Luxembourg National Railway Company's line 10, to the Plateau Kirchberg tram stop, on Luxtram.[1][2][3]
Construction work for the line started in early 2015, and it has been in service since 10 December 2017.[1][4]
The funicular actually consists of two parallel lines. Each line has a passing loop and two cars, and operates on the funicular principal by which one car counter-balances the other, but the two lines can operate independently, allowing either two or four cars to be used depending on demand.[3][4]
