Lynmouth - Lynton Cliff Railway.
Car loading at Lynmouth.
Detail of the lower Lynmouth "station" which illustrates the gradient well.
Track detail seen from inside the ascending car as the descending one approaches the mid-way passing place.
I found it very difficult to obtain internal shots of the seating due to the number of passengers and the need to not delay the operation. This may give a little idea of the set-up despite the silhouette inside the car.
Detail of the track, braking and wheels at Lynton with the track descending steeply.
Further detail of the greasy bits!
Note the white marks which would indicate any slip of the wheel tyres against the centres. I was also impressed by the overall condition including the clean copper pipework.
Upper end of the car at Lynton
Each car is attended by a brakeman who has control of the rather magnificent brass handbrake wheel.
Note also the emergency control panel on the stone wall as the descending car departs.
