There are hundreds of local finiculars in Wellington, New Zealand. They range from like a fiberglass bucket on a single rail to effectively a beautiful little room elevator that mimics the style of your home. It's not so much that the city itself, as a public entity, needs them; it's that all of these homeowners do because they're crammed in between water and craggy hills.
Funiculars are great, which is why the main image from our previous train episode featured one -- except we didn't actually talk about that one during the show. It's a cable car from Wellington, and as it turns out it's one of hundreds of funiculars in this city. Roman and Kurt are back with another series of railroad tales. All aboard!
