France Funicular Steam Train Engine Railway Mountain Tunnel Vtg. Photo 19thC.
This quality reprint of a vintage photo shows a steam-powered rack railway train, number 4, carries passengers along a steep mountain track in France as it approaches a tunnel. Rack railways, or cog railways, were an engineering innovation of the 19th century designed to overcome steep gradients. Several lines were constructed in the mountainous regions of France, such as the Alps and Pyrenees, to boost tourism and industry.
