Funiculars

/fjuːˈnɪkjʊlərz/ noun

Definition

Plural of funicular; cable-drawn inclined railways, or relating to rope-like anatomical structures.

Etymology

Plural of funicular, ultimately from Latin funiculus. These specialized railways became particularly famous in cities like San Francisco, Hong Kong, and Switzerland for moving people and goods up steep slopes.

Kelly Says

San Francisco's cable cars are technically a type of funicular system—they've been climbing those famous hills since 1873, proving that a century-old rope-and-cable technology can still be both practical and romantic.
