The most unique elevator in Italy: Castello d'Albertis-Montegalletto, Genoa 

300 metri di galleria, per la precisione.

@@massimopalomba5009EVABBE'...... Ho esagerato di 200 mt!!!!! Ma tutto questo è per far capire come questo Impianto si sia EVOLUTO negli anni!!!!!!

The vertical rise has two parallel sets of guides, whereas the inclined track is a single one. The turnouts allow a simultaneous use of the vertical mode raise, although the subsequent inclined path is single. In other words the turnouts raise the system flow thank to the presence of two cabins Вертикальный подъем имеет два параллельных набора направляющих, а наклонный путь - один. Стрелочные переводы позволяют одновременно использовать подъем в вертикальном режиме, хотя последующий наклонный путь является одиночным. Другими словами, стрелочные переводы увеличивают поток системы благодаря наличию двух кабин.

It could be added that the only switch (turnout, point, etc.) is of the Abt type with no needles or other moving parts. These are used in nearly all single-track funiculars, with two balanced cars, to form the mid-course loop where the two cars cross. In the same city you have the examples constituted by the Righi funicular (it takes its name from the famous Swiss Rigi) and the Sant'Anna Funicular. Even the legendary Principe - Granarolo railway has Abt points at the central doubling point. Although it is not a funicular, it works (or should work) exactly like a classic two-car funicular. Even its gauge (1200 mm) makes it similar to a funicular.
