Funicular railways are common in Switzerland due to its hilly terrain.  I believe it is one of their favorite civil engineering activities beside building tunnels.  There are at least three funicular railways in Neuchâtel.  Two of them were used mainly for commuting to a higher part of town from the town center – nothing to write home about.  The third one is built for sightseeing.  Sue and I went for a ride on a windy cold sunday afternoon.
