The cars can be attached to a second cable running through a pulley at the bottom of the incline in case the gravity force acting on the vehicles is too low to operate them on the slope.

This practice is used for funiculars with gradients below 6 %, funiculars using sledges instead of cars or any other case where it is not ensured that the descending car is always able to pull out the cable from the pulley in the station on the top of the incline.

A cable railway ( also known as an incline or inclined plane ) is a steeply graded railway that uses a cable or rope to haul trains.

Railway workers attach the cable to the upper wagon, and detach it when it arrives at the other end of the incline.

At the head of the incline various devices were employed to ensure that wagons did not start to descend before they were attached to the cable.

A variety of systems were used to communicate with workers at the bottom of the incline, whose job it was to attach and detach the wagons from the incline cable.

A single cable is attached to both trains, wound round a winding drum at the top of the incline to provide braking.

This form of cable railway can only be used to move loads downhill and requires a wider space than a stationary engine-driven incline, but has the advantage of not requiring external power, and therefore costs less to operate.

In a simpler form the cable is attached to a locomotive, usually at the upper end of the incline.

In May 1861 a narrow gauge tramway was constructed from the incline to Belmore Basin ( Wollongong Harbour ) after the Mount Keira Tramways Act was passed by parliament.

At the top of the plane the incline chain / rope passed underground and into a pit where it was wound one and a half turns around a horizontal drum 14 feet ( 4, 267 mm ) in diameter.

A chain linked the two caissons together, passing round a horizontal drum situated at the top of the incline.

A rope would be attached to the loaded top cradle and it would be drawn out of the water to the top of the incline using a small winding drum driven by a steam engine.

The speed of the wagons was usually controlled by means of a brake that acted on the winding drum at the head of the incline.

This is most commonly used for a temporary incline where setting up the infrastructure of a winding drum and stationary engine is not appropriate.

The incline tunnel and the lift shaft were plugged on the surface and several blocks of flats were constructed on the old depot site by the LCC.

This requires use of gauntlet track: either a single track of two rails, or a three-rail track where trains share a common rail ; at the centre of the incline there will be a passing track to allow the ascending and descending trains to pass each other.

According to Eugeniusz Popielarz, who was imprisoned there as a young Polish teenager from May 1942 until May 1945 with his mother and three brothers, the older teens and adults dug the peat while the younger pre-teen and teenage boys would push loaded railwagons up an incline on a narrow gauge railway so that they could coast downhill to assemble the train, powered by a peat-fired small locomotive, which would then take the peat to the power plant.
