neutral  Polangmar: Cóż, czytając artykuł w Wikipedi niby wszystko OK - ale patrząc na obrazki (http://tinyurl.com/68n2ytc ) widzimy, że "cable railway" oznacza też napowietrzną kolej linową.

funicular transport


Explanation:
A funicular, also known as an inclined plane or cliff railway, is a cable railway in which a cable attached to a pair of tram-like vehicles on rails moves them up and down a steep slope; the ascending and descending vehicles counterbalance each other.

Na obrazkach widać, że jest to jednoznaczny termin: http://tinyurl.com/5tw5nxj [obrazek pierwszy z lewej to przypadkowe połączenie tych dwóch słów, zresztą z przecinkiem (funicular, transportation), co widać po najechaniu myszką]
