RE: GooglyPrize- No. 42 👀

in #googlyeyes6 years ago

nice, I didn't know Bilbao had a googly train... :P

It must be travelling up a hill the way it is built?

Some nice trivia here, but it would have been cool if the paid photographer would have made the efort of putting the train into a more interesting environment and it might have been nice to learn more about the actual train, too, apparently it's quite interesting...

Well... since I googled it already anyway:

It's called the "Artxanda Funicular" [wikipedia], and apparently railways that deal with an incline like this are called "funicular railway". The things we learn through #GooglyEyes, isn't it amazing.

Oh and, here's a pic of the real thing:
